    I just tried and can scan  in mac preview but I do not get the Epson driver box. (below) I need that from what i scan . What is ODD is I can preview  the image but then I get that error message (below) when I try and scan.  Do you know if others are not able to scan using Epson and CS5? Have you found any other info on this? Before I purchase CS5 I need this to work. Thanks!!

    Unfortunately that is exactly what I used to get on CS4 when I tried to use TWAIN with the Epson Driver....  most of the printer drivers aren't updated to use TWAIN with the new software so you have to use the software outside of Photoshop.   You should be able to use the free standing Epson Scan to operate outside of Photoshop... but I believe the days of scanning right from Photoshop are over.  If you can't use Epson Scan try Vue Scan or Silverlight.

    Thanks. I was able to scan with Epson direct but the scan is not as good as in PS for some reason.

    I normally scan as a PS file. I guess I can always keep CS4 for scanning.

    I would just skip using Twain and just use "Preview".... that's what I do....

    Thanks...I used Preview but then when I go to scan it give me that  message.

    Use the application "Preview"... a native part of your Mac OS.      If you are already using that try turning the scanner off and then on.
