Leopard scanner software

I have about 25 rolls of this type of film and would really prefer to scan the negatives instead of the prints. I'm wondering if I can make some sort of cardboard holder that will do the trick. There are later updates available that also work. Copy utility that comes with the scanner works. Does not bring the printer settings, so it is rudimentary. I was unable to find an update for it. I am using Leopard All three scanners work with The also works with the Epson driver v2.

The is years old but I have never had a problem using it with any version of OS X with Vuescan. The last driver that Epson put out for the was for OS8! I don't care for Nikon software so I have no idea if it works with Scanning software designed for To bad they stopped making scanners in I'm very happy about that.

Nothing running in the background sucking CPU cycles. I have Photoshop CS3 but I don't use it for scanning. I always scan and open the files later. In Just for the record I asked which Mac it was used with. Breathed some life into the old faithful G5. Dell 20inch LCD x pixel. Plus a MacBook Pro 2. Reconditioned from Apple. Aled B. It does not show up in Photoshop CS3, but does in Photoshop elements 4.

Epson's software is PPC code. If the scanning app isn't universal binary, is the option to run under Rosetta checked? VueScan works very well with this combination. Both Macs are running Power is connected to a switched outlet and turned on only when needed. It is removed after use. I unhooked the scanner, downloaded the driver again, reinstalled, and it worked.

Note that this scanner is listed as not supported with Leopard. Although I did get one scan to work, the next day under identical conditions the crashing continued.

I have not been able to troubleshoot this. Perhaps if I reinstalled the driver before each scan it would work, but it is too unstable to function consistently. Sorry for the misinformation. I have my reasons without issues in The is used exclusively for photography, and the is my wife's, used with an Intel iMac 2. I haven't tried to use the Epson Scanner software itself lately, but quickly here, let me try to scan a document and see what happens I have never upgraded to v2.

If it's not broke, don't fix it, you know? The scanner is always plugged into the G5, directly into an onboard USB 2. I never turn it off. I learned that trick years ago. Kindest regards, David C. Includes notes from a few users on some caveats. I did an upgrade to Leopard and then to I don't exercise it very much, but it's never given me any problems or odd configuration issues. I asked Bill about the Scan Utility version after -one- reader said it was v2.

The splash screen that comes up when you activate "Import" under Photoshop definitely says 2. It worked fine when I first installed it on my new iMac 24in with Tiger, actually the first time I was able to use the Firewire interface. Since my Leopard I am using the Firewire interface.

The Epson Scan utility installed is 2. The Epson Scanner Monitor is version 1. I asked if he had any other scan software to try i. VueScan to see if the scanner is still recognized, asked about connection, etc.

I also just tried a direct USB connection without any luck spinning wheel - I have to force quit - even more troublesome than the FW. I do have it directly connected to my Firewire port nothing else on that port. I don't have any other scanning software to try.

Dan S. Creative Director Illustration. Might be worth trying the Trial version at least to check out. I have not tried a reinstall of Epson Scan to see if it shows back up in Photoshop.

Sincerely, Christopher C. Also does great scans. I use the firewire connection to my MDD dual 1. The epson twain driver I am using is v 5. With leopard much has changed. After updating the powerbook to Sometimes the mentioned apps see the scanner fine other times not. As per epson site suggestion I updated the powerbook now running Both drivers seem to coexist fine although at some point I may remove the older 5.

Oddly it seems that when both connections on back of scanner are connected, even if other computer is off less chance of powerbook seeing scanner on USB. Disconnect firewire cable on back of scanner, pb sees scanner more often, but no pattern really emerges. Macbook The MDD My conclusion so far is that of course epson needs to update or fix their driver. It would appear that scanning via firewire is more reliable than USB, but that kind of defeats the beauty of this scanner's ability to have it connected to 2 live computers at once and be able to scan from either one Glad someone finally mentioned this scanner as regards As always thanks for keeping up a great site for Mac info.

Earlier replies today follow. How may I be of service? Mac Model? Direct connection to mac ports? Is your Scanner on all the time or can you turn it on and use it after booting the OS?

I can't just turn the scanner on and have it work. The scanning software won't start up it tries to start up - then quits. This has actually been an ongoing problem for me. I haven't had descent preformance with my epson scanner for awhile now I asked for info on his Mac and to confirm he's using the same version software noted in the earlier post below.

I'm on a Mac Pro 2. I would love get this resolved, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm using firewire I will try USB and see if that makes a difference. I fired it up and it worked perfectly!

Press and hold the Ctrl key and then click the file that you downloaded in Step two. Peter, thanks for the comment. Unfortunately the problem I described is hardware-based, and Nikon has known about it for a long time. The solution you posted won't work, as far as I know. Nikon knows that their software won't work with an Intel-based Mac, while using a motorized attachment like the SF or SF- That's the case with my equipment.

I don't think this problem exists with Macs earlier than those with Intel processors. The fact that Vuescan solved the issue quickly, and they are a small company, makes me even more disgusted with how Nikon has ignored this issue.

They are a big company, and it would not take many of their resources to at least write a bug fix for this issue. They have no excuse. From what you've described, there are likely some other issues with Nikon Scan running on Leopard.

Photoshop CS3 doesn't recognize the Nikon Scan plugin at all. But the standalone app works fine and I am pleased to be able to scan on my Mac instead of my PC!! Interesting, I haven't ever used the plugin with Photoshop.

But again, the standalone application won't work with OSX A silly but very problematic bug that Nikon should have fixed ages ago. Nikon, what's the holdup? Do you not listen, or care about your honourable customer base? Hi Guys, Just wanted to add an update from my experiences. I have been saving up for almost 3 years to get a MAC to do my photos on. So I went on line to download Updated software from Nikon only to find all links to Nikonscan software for the Leopard disabled.

So I wrote to Nikon and here is there response. Nikon has no plans, at present, to release a version of Nikon Scan that is compatible with the Mac If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me by clicking on the link below to update this email. In the current economic climate if we can get enough names to write maybe we can effect a change, after all surely they will not want to alienate that many existing customers? Thanks Nikon.

It's truly shameful that a company of this size would take this stance. It's probably a relatively easy fix, too. If we are a lot of people to make this request Please read it, sign it and spread it all around the Internet!

Hi Everyone, Great to hear that this thread is alive and well. I am certainly not ready to give up on this issue, either. I also spent a bunch on a new 8-core Mac Pro about a year ago, to learn that Nikon Scan won't run on it. From what I understand, the incompatibility has existed even before Mac OS It's unfathomable that Nikon won't make the relatively small effort it takes to bring their software up-to-date for Macs.

There are so many reasons for this, to name a few: -- Photographers and graphic artists commonly use Macs, and this trend is probably growing. It is especially irresponsible considering that our society is aiming to be less wasteful.

My four-year-old scanner is not ready for the landfill yet, and I should not be forced to buy third-party software. I'll certainly sign the petition, and help to spread the news anyway I can. I hope that some people can make it to PMA as Brad suggested. For a large corporation like Nikon, this is an easy fix. Tiny little Vuescan stays right on top of these issues, so I'm sure it would be nothing for Nikon to get on it.

Has there been much progress with this? Perhaps it needs to be posted in several places. Even though there are "only" 98 who signed up so far, that is a small proportion of the people who have been unfairly affected by this.

I have problems since installing Mac OS X I decided to re-install 4. That seemed to resolve the initial problems of being able to scan previews of color negative film strips. I was able to scan an entire frame and NikonScan presented the scanned image on screen. However, NikonScan crashed when I tried to save the image to file.

Looks like I'm able to save image files now. It took a few iterations of scanning. NikonScan crashes with some frequency when making adjustments and clicking any button to reload the preview. This situation is pretty shitty, but I have another solution.

The plug in will appear when you use CS and should work just fine. Just make sure that you don't use this version of Photoshop with any other versions. There are some workarounds all fairly crappy as the above post indicates if you are scanning individual slides.

Batch feeder is the only practical way to batch scan a large number of slides. Cannot do it with VueScan, or Photoshop, or anything else! Someone needs to come up with a new batch slide scanner and some decent drivers. Double-click the HP Installer.
