Scanning Epson V300 Into PhotoShop CS6 Mac

Jun 30, 2012 3:52 PM

I just bought CS6 for Mac for a mere $1400 CDN, using a brand new mid-2011 iMac. I have an Epson V300 Photo Scanner. If I install the Epson Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v3.51 from Epson's website (says it's compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 and even 10.8 - see link below), will I be able to use the File >> Import function to scan directly into PhotoShop? With my old Epson Scanner, I have to use Apple Preview to do my scans.

 

I'm confused about all this TWAIN 64-bit stuff. Makes no sense to me. Just want to be able to put a document into my scanner and go to PhotoShop File >> Import and see my scanner like I was able to do in my old version of PhotoShop.

    You should be able to import from it via the ImageKit/ImageCapture drivers - but TWAIN is still risky (lots of bugs in the drivers), and mostly unsupported in 64 bit (I don't think Epson ships a 64 bit driver).

     

    You're probably best off scanning inthe stand alone application.

    Thanks so much Chris - do I have to install the ImageKit/ImageCapture drivers or are they already installed and I just connect the new scanner and will see it in the File >> Import menu?

    They should be installed when you install the scanner drivers.

     

    It should just show up, but I don't know every scanner model's specific drivers.

    This worked perfectly with my new Epson Perfection V300. I go to File >> Import >> Images From Device and a box pops up and I can scan directly into PhotoShop CS6 now. Thanks for the help.

     

    Only one other question - my old scanner (Epson Perfection 2400) still shows up in PhotoShop CS6 File >> Import >> Images From Device list -- I disconnected it and deleted it from Mac OS X System Preferences >> Print & Scan which deleted the scanner there but it still shows up in PhotoShop CS6 File >> Import >> Images From Device. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? The ImageKit/ImageCapture scanning software always defaults to the old scanner for some reason and I thought that by deleting it from System Preferences >> Print & Scan, it would be deleted everywhere.

    Somewhere the scanner driver is still installed. It could be ImageKit, TWAIN, or a plugin specific to that scanner.

    You'll have to find and remove that driver.

    Hello

    is this the only way to scan from Photoshop CS6 with Epson V300? There are very poor control, no advanced settings?
