I'm on a trial version of cs4, previous usuer of the original CS. Googling the problem doesn't help this computer illiterate fella.
Can anyone dumb it down for me?


here's what adobe has to say about it:

Use Epson Scan as a stand alone application then edit the image in Photoshop.

NO!
I'm already doing that and I don't like it.

Have you tried manually placing the plug-in into your PS plug-in folder?
I'm no geek, but I had the same problem when I got CS5; I also had to change it from 32 bit to 64 bit, IIRC.

You no longer can scan from Photoshop with the newer versions, a PITA but that's Adobe for ya.

Thanks Frank.
That blows. I guess they figure no one has shot film since 2001.

My brother (geek) helped me with this very issue a few months back, and I can scan directly from PS if I want to (I don't).
I don't know what he did, and he's out of the country without email right now, otherwise I'd ask him if he remembers.
But there is a way, at least in CS5.

I have never had a problem scanning from CS4 with my Microtek scanner.

That's nice. I've got an epson. How'd you get the twain to show up?

are you using the "import" on the menu file?

Try this:
-----------------------

To Run Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS as a 32-bit application:

Select the Adobe Photoshop CS5 application file, installed by default in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder.

Choose File > Get Info, and select Open in 32 Bit Mode.

yeah, just as I've done with previous versions of photoshop.

Daniel, I'm running CS4.

Your OS is likely 32 bit already. Which is it?

I can scan just fine with the current version of PS on a PC. I had to manually install the Twain driver.

PS: I should have added that I just scanned yesterday on my 4990. I haven't tried this on the PS6 Beta which is on another computer running Win7 64.

10.7.2

Next thing to try, a temporary setting:

"If your Mac uses the 64-bit kernel by default, you can start up with the 32-bit kernel by holding the 3 and 2 keys during startup."

"Your Mac will revert to the default kernel the next time you reboot it."

This will rule out one variable. Try the twain import in CS4 once you've booted in 32 bit mode.
