Descreen option missing
The Descreen control in Import > "Image from device" has dissappeard. It used to allow for different levels of Descreening. It was very effective. Did Adobe remove that function?
gener7 is correct. The command File > Import > Images from Device opens the macOS scanning module.
The scanning window that appears when you choose the command is the same as what comes up in other Mac applications, although it’s called different things (see table below). As long as you are in that window, you are in Apple software, so if you saw Descreen in that window, it was an Apple feature. After the macOS scanning module completes the scan, it passes the scan to the application.
| In the application… | Open the built-in macOS scanning app by choosing the command… |
| Adobe Photoshop | File > Import > Images from Device |
| Apple Preview | File > Import from [name of connected scanner] |
| Pixelmator Pro | File > Import |
| Affinity Photo | File > Acquire Image |
| GraphicConverter | File > Scan > Scan with Image Capture |
So the actual question is “Why did Apple remove the Descreen feature?”
