Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / November 2007Graphic Converter can't see my scanner
Anyone any idea why GC 6.0.2 can't see my Microtek Filmscan 2700? If I go: File -> acquire -> TWAIN device then TWAIN device is greyed out. Photoshop Elements 2.0 can see it no problem. I need this to move to Leopard since PE 2.0 don't work under Leopard. This is under 10.4.11 and using the latest driver I could find (7th Sept 07 from scanace). TIA, tim > Photoshop Elements 2.0 can see it no problem. I need this to move to > Leopard since PE 2.0 don't work under Leopard. Thanks for that, as I was about to try and install it here. When you say "doesn't work" do you mean it won't run at all?

It starts and you're all ready to think - "Hey, it *does* work" and then it whinges about having done something illegal and finishes by saying I'll get me coat and exits. I tried re-installing under L but to no avail. tim > > > Photoshop Elements 2.0 can see it no problem. I need this to move to > > > Leopard since PE 2.0 don't work under Leopard.

In fact tried both ideas (this + Rosetta) together. Still no joy <sob>. > Anyone any idea why GC 6.0.2 can't see my Microtek Filmscan 2700? If you're on Intel then force GC to run under Rosetta (some Twain drivers are not UB yet).

Thanks though :-) Err, prehaps try changing your TWAIN driver to VueScan (which will probably improve quality too)? I don't have any other bright ideas!

I did some more research (I don't have the same scanner...) The installer from <http://www.scanace.com/download/Cyb_X_SF.htm> installs among others a Photoshop plug-in to Applications:Adobe Photoshop Elements 2:Zusatzmodule:Import/Export:8BAM-SF.Bundle: You'll have to translate the german "Zusatzmodule" (additional modules) to your version of PS Elements Copy the file "8BAM-SF.Bundle" to VolumeName:Library:Application Support:GraphicConverter:Plug-ins: You should be able to scan with GraphicConverter PPC 6.0.2...

Andreas, Thanks for your efforts. I found the file you mentioned and copied it as suggested, but it *still* doesn't work with GC 6.0.2 PPC. But VueScan looks like the way forward, Thanks to all who commented. Tim. > Anyone any idea why GC 6.0.2 can't see my Microtek Filmscan 2700? If I > go: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > TIA, Tim, Have you checked to see whether Image Capture recognizes your scanner? If so, you can use Image Capture to do the scanning and have it hand the scan off to GraphicConverter (I do this with an old Epson scanner that GC and Photoshop don't deal well with on my MacBook under Leopard). Image Capture has a control to specify which application should receive the scanned image (defaults to Preview). SignatureSpenser > > Anyone any idea why GC 6.0.2 can't see my Microtek Filmscan 2700?

Yes, I had tried that but IC simply says there si no capture device attached. Cheers -- tim > Anyone any idea why GC 6.0.2 can't see my Microtek Filmscan 2700?

I need this to work in order to move to Leopard since PE 2.0 don't work under Leopard. But Vuescan seems to be the answer. * Tim Streater [Sat, 24 Nov 2007 05:02:13 -0800]: > Anyone any idea why GC 6.0.2 can't see my Microtek Filmscan 2700? As I recall, I had the same problem with a totally different scanner. Went to the GC site and found that this is a known issue. TWAIN plugins don't work right with GC. I forget the details, but I just gave up on trying to get it to work.

I think that VueScan must use a different communication method back to Elements/GC. It started Elements for me when I chose that as its Viewer. |
