Photoshop Elements :: Windows 7 Doesn't Work With Epson 4870 Scanner
Oct 15, 2012
I converted my operating system from Windows XP to Windows 7 and I cannot get my Epson Perfection 4870 photo scanner to work with it. I downloaded the driver and it took, but my scanner does not appear in Elements 11 as an import. I used Elements 3 and 7 before and these worked fine with the scanner.
My scanner, Epson 4870, is not in the import section in CS4. It's there for CS3. Instead I get a basic low tech wia option - which is ,well, too low tech for any practical use.
Does CS4 see your scanners?
The scanner will load up separately and I can still scan but it won't import into photoshop cs4.....
I have an Epson 4870 scanner which I'm using with my Vista Home Premium (32 bit)software. When I first installed it, it worked fine. However, some update came along and made that a thing of the past. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. (The drivers are said to be Vista compatible, and they were for a while) I've searched the forum and Googled, but the only new advice I've seen is to turn off the Vista UAC or whatever, which opens the computer to security risks. Even with UAC off, it still doesn't work. I've considered getting a V700 or V750, but the reviews I've read don't show a significant difference in quality over the 4870, and I don't have enough 8x10 transparencies to warrant purchasing for that alone. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled CS3, trashed preferences, jumped over the moon while spinning counterclockwise, etc.
The photo sharing feature in PSE 10 does not work in Windows 7. Nor can an image be attached to an email, PSE 10 appears to be seriously flawed and not fit for purpose.
I am unable to link my Epson 3200 photo scanner to PS Elements 11 on my new iMac. I have tried downloading the software from the Epson website, but when I load it the nothing shows up. I moved the the Optional Plug-ins > Import Modules TWAIN plug in to the Plug-ins. That had no affect at Photoshop Elements 11>Support Files>Import.
On my old iMac I could link and download files from the Scanner.
Using PS Elements 10 on my Mac OS 10.6 I cannot import images from my Epson CX 7450 scanner. Have had no such problem with PS Elements 8. When I select file, import, the options are limited and the scanner is not listed.
It did show the Epson Perfection 4870 Photo Scanner.
This is the window that comes up after clicking on File.> Import>WIA Support
The old scanner Epson 4870 Perfection Photo was listed above WIA Support and is still listed on Photoshop Elements 6, which also shows the V600, but, not Photoshop Elements 9 ?
Ps.This is a little frustratimg, it appears Premiere Elements 6 although older works far better, in the monitor and shows the V600 immediately in Pro mode ,just as well it was a free addition with the Epson Scanner.
I just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Elements 11 on a brand new iMac running OS X 10.8.2, but Elements 11 will not recognize my Epson Perfection 4990 PHOTO Scanner as an option to import from when I click on "File" then "Import." Is there a Plug-In that may be missing for this to operate as it used to in Elements 6 running on an older G5 Non-Intel processor? I don't have the new Elements 11 Disk to copy anything from, since I downloaded the program directly from Adobe.
I installed yesterday the trial version of the CS6 Master Edition on two computers and the photoshop doesn't work on none of them. Both computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits.The message appearing is like that:
"Could not open a scratch file as the file is locked, it is not necessary to have access permissions or another program using the file. Use the command "Properties" in Windows Explorer to unlock the file" (translated from portuguese, not well writter even in portuguese...) other issue identified, the uninstal of CS6 Master Edition blocks the alteration on the Photoshop.
I am on a MacPro....OS X 10.6.8. I am running Adobe Photoshop CS5. I need to be able to run my EPSON 2450 flatbed scanner through Photoshop. But when I go to File > Import > it's not there.
Explain where I can find the TWAIN plug-in, where to load it and how to make it so it shows up under, "Import" so I can operate the scanner through Photoshop.
Just loaded CS5 on Mac 10.7. I downloaded and installed the latest OSX Epson 1640xl scanner software, and also copied the Twain plugin from the Adobe Goodies CD to the Photoshop > Plugins > Import/Export folder.
Rebooted the computer, power off and unplugged my USB scanner, fired it back up, restarted Photoshop, etc. It no longer shows up in Photoshop>File>Import
But Photoshop doesn't see my scanner at all. In fact, the TWAIN plugin doesn't even show up in the plugins folder list. Everything worked perfectly with Mac 10.6 I also took the scanner into a Epson dealer and the scanner works perfectly.
I have just started to use an Epson GT 1500 scanner and immediately met with a problem in that I can not work out how the preview function operates and as Epson don't appear.
I am doing a scan, stand alone, but once the popup comes up to save the scan someplace, there isn't a 'save' button to save it! I have to close the popup and the scan isn't saved. CS4, and epson perfection 4490 Photo.
having problems with his Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner. He is using Photoshop 7.0. With Photoshop open he goes to 'import' and then clicks on 'Epson 3200 Photo' and he gets the following message
"Could not complete the import command because of a problem with the acqusition module interface"
and then it closes Photoshop. I have uninstalled all of the scanner software and reinstalled it and the same with the Photoshop 7.0 software but I still get the same error message.
I've just loaded debian 7 wheezy with gnome 3.8. When opening the gimp I go to CREATE but only find sane showing the cam ... I think the thing I need is called something like quiteinsane in order for gimp to see the epson stylus XS230 ...
How can I access my Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner after upgrading from PS CS4 to CS6? There is no Photoshop File/Export/Epson scanner listed anymore. I downloaded a TWAIN plug-in and loaded it in the PS Plug-in folder.
According to URL....I should be able to sample a color from the desktop. This doesn't work when I try to capture a color from a web page displayed in IE 10 (desktop mode).
It does work with Chrome, and I suspect other browsers as well (haven't the time to try them all).
I cannot import files from an epson scanner V750 pro. The screen reads unable to read preview. I am scanning B/W negatives using 16 bit Grayscale and tiff image format?
after having installed Autocad 2006 LT on windows 7 64 bit, i cna't execute it because it gets the error "unhandled access violation reading 0x0000 - Exception at 621b40h".
Tried every option in Windows program execution compatibility option but no success. Obiouvsly user is administrator.
I type in the command ( I'm an old school typer, hate the buttons ) BLOCK....then the next thing that happens is (after hitting enter of course), my crosshairs instantly turn into the Windows arrow.
I wasn't playing with any switches. I was just trying to make a little block with a number in it.
Yes, I restarted AutoCAD, restarted the computer, did not reload in AutoCAD.....AutoCAD 2011 by the way.
I run Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
I have to do a WBLOCK to make the blocks I need to bypass this odd behavior.
I recently updated my Notebook from Vista to Windows 8. Now I do have to install al programms again, but concerning PSE 6, there is a catastrophically failure with the licencing subsystem AMT. How I can use this programme again under Windows 8?
