I’m trying to install the Epson Perfection V700 software on Photoshop CS4 and nothing happens. Please tell me if there is any issue on that. Thank you. I have 1 Mac Pro and 1 G5 Desktop. Beltran Espinosa
Give your photos a professional finish with sharpening in Photoshop. Learn to enhance details, create contrast, and prepare your images for print, web, and social media.
You’ve told us nothing about how you’ve installed your software, how you’ve set it up, and how you’re trying to get it to work.
That said, if you are trying to run it via TWAIN, note that the TWAIN plug-in is an optional installation with CS4 and needs to be installed manually.
And that said, note that the reason why it is now an optional installation, is that a number of scanner manufacturers are not complying properly with TWAIN standards.
So, I recommend that you use the standalone software that Epson supplies, and scan independently of Photoshop. A great benefit in scanning this way is that you are not tying up Photoshop as a scanner utility, and you can work productively while scanning.
Thank You Neil. I’ll appreciate a lot if you tell me how to install it manually, because we are two persons involved in this. I’m going to follow your advise which makes a lot of sense, but the girl that works with me is a person of habits and might want to import the scanner the old fashion way. Any way, is a pleasure to hear from people so knowledgeable and nice.
Its in the goodies folder and you put it in Photoshops plugin folder.
I must agree with Neil. Tying up a $1000 application as a scanning interface is a bit silly since Photoshop has no scanning ability in and of itself. You are still using Epson’s software. So since this a new scanner and a new version of Photoshop try doing a new way.
The exception would be (first assuming that TWAIN-compliant software has been provided by the scanner manufacturer) if you are doing only very occasional scanning.
