Photoshop :: How To Remove Old Scanner From File_Import Sub-menu
May 29, 2013
I'm running Photoshop CS6 under Windows 7-32bit, on a Dell Optiplex 360 with 4GB of RAM installed. My hard drive has 96GB of free space, so system resources seem adequate.
I recently replaced an old multi-function printer and a flat-bed scanner with a new multi-function printer that is capable of flat-bed scanning too. I have disconnected the old devices and uninstalled the drivers, not only from my computer but from all the other computers on my home network too. But the File_Import menu still shows all three devices even though two of them have been permanently disconnected.I would really like to make the scanners that I no longer have disappear from that import menu.
I moved the TWAIN plug in... and still the scanner doesn't show up in the import menu... in fact the import menu option is greyed out and unavailable.
I'm on an iMac running OS/X 10.8.5..I have been struggling with this for 2 weeks now, I even bought a new scanner yesterday and still nothing shows up. if this is a function that Photoshop Elements 12 is no longer capible of doing... if so any photo editing software that CAN do this?
How do I remove "Open with Corel Paintshop Pro X4" from the right click context menu in explorer? I have one for every version I have installed and it makes the right click menu toooo long.
I immediately "imported " my pictures to my Catalog. As I began to read and view the tutorials, I realized that this was probably premature and so I "removed" the pictures. Somehow, in this process, I also removed the menu bar "catalog" from the left side of the screen (now it just shows "folders"). How do I reinstate the Menu bar "Catalog"?
When I eventually imported my pictures again, there were now duplicates of every picture and many pictures have several duplicates. What is the best way to remove duplicates rom Lightroom? Also, I checked "My Pictures" on my PC and all these duplicates are there, as well.
I am exporting thousands of shots for my website and I am making a customized watermark/copyright title for each collection. It is working fine except now I have quite a few customized watermarks which I probably will never use again. How do I remove these from the pull down menu?
A co-worker scanned a photo and emailed it to me to edit it and try to improve it, but everything I want to do is grayed out so I can't select it and I can't figure out why. Maybe it has to do with how she scanned it?
It's CMYK, 300 dpi, and 8 bit.
I'd like to sharpen it and adjust the hue/saturation, but they're grayed out.
why this is happening and how I can work around this so I can make the changes I need to make?
When selecting a sub menu from within a main drop down menu the arrow points to the right but the actual sub menu pops up on the left in most cases. I have only noticed this recently and wonder if I have inadvertently messed up a setting as in the past I cant recall this being so but I don't use the editor a lot so may be mistaken.
the Adobe products in question are CS3 & CS4 PhotoShop - i upgraded my Mac from 10.5.8 to 10.8.2 - i use a Epson Perfection 1640SU stand alone scanner - in 10.5.8 my scanner would always show in the Menu (Menu > File > Import > Epson Prefect 1640) - after i upgraded - it disappeared - i went to Epson’s site to get their latest driver for 10.8.2 - it direct me to go to Apple’s Store for their latest updates - i had no new updates listed at Apple Store - i called Apples help line - they directed me to one of their sites for the latest Epson driver for 10.8.2 - i installed the update - went to PhotoShop 3 & 4 - and again the scanner didn't show when I went - Menu > File > Import > (No scanner listed) - i called Apple back - told them the problem - they said for me to contact you (Adobe) since it was your software to see if you have any Plug-Ins for Epson Scanners running on OS 10.8.2.
I've tried installing a CanoScan Lide 200 scanner to be used with Photoshop CS6 but can't seem to make it work. I downloaded the two latest drivers available on Canon's website and installed them but it hasn't worked.
I have a printer/scanner that is attached on another (Windows XP) machine on the network. I have no problems seeing and using the printer over the network, but is there a way that the scanner can be shared as well?
With CS6 I can use FileImport to initiate a scan but when I create an action and try to run it, I get an error message 'The command "Import" is not currently available'. The action works fine with CS5.5.
I am using Silverfast and the old version works with CS5 & 6 while the new version of Silverfast works with neither. Looks like the problem lies with Silverfast.
I'm running windows 7 and just installed CS6 64 bit. I understand 64 bit doesn't use TWAIN and must instead go by way of WID. Problem is getting that set up. Very little information other than being told to un-install and re-install in 32 bit.
I've been using CS3 for a few years (on a Mac platform). I just got a new computer (OS 10.7.5), but can't get scans imported successfully. I downloaded the latest driver from the Epson website (my scanner is an Epson Perfecion 3200 Photo), but instead of going into Photoshop as directed, the data wound up in an otherwise blank window.
Normally, accessing the scanner involved Photoshop --> file --> import, but right now my scanner doesn't show up on the sub-menu, nor do I know how to get it there!
In CS3 I was able to see my scanner via file: import: scanner (epson V700 PHOTO). In CS6 it does not recognize scanner is therea plug in or other way to see the scanner?
I have tons of analog pictures and I would like to get them into computer and of course process in Photoshop. I have very bad experience with scanners about ten years ago, mainly since it was not able to get colors right, but it had other flaws too.
I have so many pictures it is not realistic to go into a shop, I want to do it by myself, if possible. So the question is, what resolution and color quality has the scanner to have in order to get the picture ( not slide ) close to the original ?
How do I install my scanner, CanoScan LiDE 210, to import images into Photoshop? This scanner has been installed into my Mac already, but does not show in Photoshop under "Import".
When creating a profile for my Microtek 4800 scanner (using Profile Prism), I am asked to do this using the default (or none) scanner settings.
I have recently found out about calibrating and/or neutralizing my scanner to read shades of gray, say 127, 127, 127.
My question is should I profile my scanner after or before calibration, or not at all?
recommend not profiling the scanner, merely scan at 48 bits, then send it to Photoshop (for editing) as an untagged file and convert it to my PS working space.
When scanning a paper with an external USB scanner I use File->Import->WIA support.But for some reason I always see multiple scanners in the list of icons, although I only have one scanner connected.
It seems like there is an icon shown for each USB port the device once was connected on, but I never know which icon is routed to the USB port the scanner is connected now.The 'wrong icons' throw an error message, so I always have to test all the icons until I found the right icon.
For some reason PSCS4 has lost the connection to my Epson V100 scanner. I have reinstalled the scanner twice. All other applications can find it, but not PS.
