I'm trying to scan a photo out of an old book to use in my own book. The photo looks lovely in the book, BUT when I scan it, it comes out all blotchy and no matter what effect I apply I cannot find a way to improve it.
I'm scanning using the "import" option and thence using a Canon scanner at 600dpi.I have tried it with the "unsharp mask" and "descreen" on or off, and all combinations, but the pic still looks rotten.
How can I remove a white film on my photos after scanning the photos?

When I try to open it in my documents it is a lightroom link and sends me to lightoom. the same thing happens with photos I take and import from my card. they are not a proper jpeg they have a lightroom icon and no matter what I do clicking on the photo takes me to and opens up lightroom.

I am new to Photoshop. I have version cs5. I have several photos that were taken through a Blue tinted plexiglass window. Some or all of the photo has acquired the tint. Also parts may have a reflection minor of people standing around. How do I remove the tint?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an interior scene with an animated camera and a lot of animated lights.
I set to Project FG points from positions along path.
Divided camera path by Num. segments 49 (the animation is 1000 frames in total)
I then calculated the fg map creating one per frame.
When I come to render the scene if I leave Interpolate over n frame at 0 the scene is smooth but it will flicker as it will recalculate the fg per frame.
I know the point in in changing the interpolation over n frames to greater number than 0 is to reduce the flicker, however when I set it to 2 for example the render now is extremely splotchy.
This happens when I try rendering from 10 too (so that there are the fg file before the start to allow interpolation).
I take a number of cemetery headstone photos and in trying to keep my shadow off the headstone, I stand to the side and the image usually gets distorted. I have Photoshop Elements 11. I'm sure there is a good way to do it. I tried Filter, Correct Camera Distortion but end up with a worse distortion than when I started.
how do I improve my photo image and make it more square?
I'm about halfway through my 30 day trial of VS Pro X4, and starting to feel a little more comfortable with the software, but a few things are still puzzling me. Granted I've only scratched the surface of the SW capabilities so far.
I took the plunge and got a new Panasonic HDC-TM90K HD video recorder to replace my old 8mm analog Sony. I've only had the opportunity to use it several times, so far so good.
The Panasonic camera comes with HD Writer AE 3.0 software. Pretty rudimentary compared to VS Pro X4; does the basics, trimming, titles, transitions etc. Not bad, it works, but definitely not as sophisticated as VS Pro X4. However I need software that can capture the 8mm tapes I'm converting, which the Panasonic SW cannot, really don't want to learn/use two software packages so hence trying to focus on VS Pro X4. See thread viewtopic.php?f=1&t=41255 for my question re: mpeg compression.
Using the Panny HD Writer SW I was able to capture and burn AVCHD DVD's from the Panny camera SW without issue, not too difficult considering this is my firt time doing all this stuff. AVCHD DVD's play just fine on my Sony Blu-Ray.
I tried capturing the same video content from the Panny camera with VS Pro X4 and could not. VS Pro X4 is stating there is no camera attached. I believe the Panny SW is hijacking the USB connection first and hence is controlling the connection to the camera. I tried looking for some services that the Panny SW has running and closed the auto-run of the Panny SW, but still no luck. I haven't tried uninstalling the Panny SW, that's next.
I was however able to import the files from the Panny camcorder using the import function in VS Pro X4 by selecting the files I wanted. Imported files are the exact same size as the files imported in the Panny HD Writer AE 3.0 SW.
Was able to make a simple little video by adding a title, couple of transitions between clips etc, couple of chapter markers. All went fairly well. Then did "Share > Create Disc", used the default (only) disc template that came in the VS Pro X4 SW trial, selected AVCHD and burn disc, no issues, until I went to play the disc in my Sony Blu-Ray. Once the action in the video picked up and there was significant motion in the video the video started to break up, don't know the technical name for it, digital artifacts maybe? It doesn't look like the deinterlacing examples I've seen, which appear to be unaligned thin lines, this is more blotchy, like blocks of data not being filled in.
So then I tried it again and selected 2 pass conversion, this time it worked, which is good, but does that need to be done anytime your burning HD content to a AVCHD DVD?
I have tried font 72 and still the font is tiny.

I was hoping to attach an example photo but can't figure out how to. I just get a black screen when I click on "insert image" icon. how do I attach a photo to a discussion question and second how do I improve my photo image?
I made a free selection in a photo with a great detail of zoon which took me a lot of time. When I pasted it I noticed that there is a small incorrection that I wanted to retouch.
However the original cut picture has the borders of the selected area brightening but doesn't show any longer the points that I could correct.
Any way of forcing it to edit, allowing me to change slightly the borders?
I've been using Paint.net for a few years, but only with .jpg photos. I recently scanned some text as a .jpg and cannot figure out how to correct some spelling errors.
Also, the paper I scanned was far removed from the original, so the white blank areas are full of black artifacts. Is there some way to have Paint.net recognize the actual test so I can have a clean text copy?
I'm working on a job that requires recreating vintage box artwork. This involves recomposing scanned images into a new layout, recreating text from matched fonts - that sort of thing. Unfortunately, some of the scanned images (originally printed offset press in cmyk) were printed with one or more of the plates out of register, creating a halo effect on one side. Can this be corrected in PhotoPaint? Is there a way to create each channel as an object which could be moved to realign the colors and then flattened again?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am aware of the 64 bit versus 32 bit issue. When I ugraded to Windows 7, 64 bit and CS 5.5, I did so because both Adobe and Microsoft indicated I would have to. In CS 5.5, the issue of the 32 bit versus 64 bit driver was not serious because--although Windows 64 bit had no trouble scanning and Photoshop 64bit did, I installed the Photoshop CS 5.5, 32 bit version, and it worked.
Today, CS5.5 disappeared, "Photoshop has ecnountered an error with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhnacements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancement can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences." Not really [it's not a driver problem], Photoshop won't stay on, it simply closes.
I am scanning with Adobe photoshop 7.0 using Vista WIA driver from Microsoft and Scanner is from Toshiba. I am using the Automatic document feeder with 3 pages but i am getting only one page(First page) in the photoshop Window.
With Twain driver it is working fine i am able to get all the three pages. is the Adobe photoshop is not supporting the ADF scanning with WIA?
I want to scan from within CS4 x64, like we used to in the old days! I appreciate that TWAIN is making way for WIA, however, I can't find a way to scan from within photoshop and NOT have to immediately save the scanned image. In want to just scan and open, and then make the decision to save (or not) later on.

However, the video Capture Time is shifted forward exactly 8 hours. I know how to correct the video Capture Time, but is there anything I can do to stop this from happening in the first place? I looked at what the metadata looks like in Bridge.

Date Created = Correct Capture Time
Date File Modified = The time I imported the file into LR.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using this product for a few years and only a few months ago I re-installed it on Windows 7 and a few days ago I closed it and it stopped working right when it says "Scanning for Plug-Ins". I haven't changed anything with the product. While I had it installed on the D-drive (The C and D got mixed up) it hadn't had a problem until a few days after continually hearing that the C: drive was full (leading to mass deletions of unused programs and files). Just today I had fixed the problem of the drives and the program had the same problem. I've tried the multiprocessor plug-in, uninstalling and reinstalling it, There are only a few oddities I can say happened during the reinstallation, it was unable to activate.

Running PS 7 on Windows XP.
Is it possible to do a multipage scan in Photoshop 7 and to have all the scanned pages saved as one PDF file. At the moment I can only find a way that gives me the same number of files as I have scanned in.
The reason I am having to do this is because I am having a problem with the scanning facility in Acrobat 8.
I want to scan gemstones on my computer to use on a webpage.
I scan the gem at 300 dpi ( I crop the preview image...then scan)
I then import into PS and adjust the image (contrast, colour etc)
Unfortunately, when the image is then used on my webpage, the resolution is terrible. The image on the web page is larger than the one in PS.
I have an Epson Perfection 4180 scanner which has worked for years. I moved, plug everything back in, the scanner works one time, and from then on, I get this error: "Could not complete the Import command because of an error with acquisition module interface."
I've searched around, and seen others with this problem, but, no real solution. From what I've read, it's a Photoshop issue. I've downloaded the TWAIN drivers and re-installed the scanner, and deleted Photoshop's preferences file. The scanner does work through the Windows Scanner Wizard. I've turned off the Windows Image Acquisition thing in the control panel, and then turned it back on.
I have an Epson R200 printer and an Epson Perfection 1260 Scanner. Using Photoshop CS, how do I get a closest colour match between scanning an image, passing it through photoshop and printing it out on photo quality inkjet paper as close to the original as possible.
I'm scanning at 1400 dpi, what else do I need to do? I don't know anything about colour management or anything like that...
I use the default scanning software that cames with my epson scanner...I works fine no problems, I do all of my corrections in PS. But I was wondering if anybody uses any third party software that is particularly good?

There's no import option or from what I can see there isn't.

Here is my hardware: Macbook pro 4 GB DDR3 core i5 with plenty of HD space Epson V700 scanner (6400 dpi scanning capability)
My Software: Adobe CS6 trial
What I want to do: Scan a typical photo that is 6 by 6 inches at 6400 dpi as a bitmap, for utmost quality
What I tried: File -> Import -> Images from device -> then selected my scanner, set it to scan at 6400 dpi and save as a bitmap
My problem: When the scanner head is done scanning and the progress bar for scanning the image completes and moves to the next step (presumably writing the image to the file), PS crashes and gives me an error log. It is far too detailed for me. I have no problem scanning images at lower resolutions like 1200 dpi. But this scanner is capable of 6400 dpi and I want to take full advantage of it. I cannot use the scanner software that came with teh scanner because tech support told me the scanner software has a 1.something GB file limit size. They told me 3rd party software like PS should be able to scan unlimited file sizes. I suspect the file size migh be too large (16 GB)
My question: Is this a bug in the trial or something? Should PS be able to scan a 6 by 6 inch photo at 6400 dpi and save it as a bitmap?
Any 1st thoughts? I imagine it would be useful to upload the error log. I can do that if it is ok to do so
I would lik eto scan this image at 6400 dpi.
When I try to open PS CS6, it hangs and says it's "scanning for plug-ins" and will not open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no luck.
