I would appreciate any help about import from scanner. Using CS5 to import from scanner was not successful. I tried even pasting a Twain plug in into import/export folder, but again, no success.

Thanks.

    Scanning in Photoshop is a bad idea anyway.  Scanning outside of Photoshop is much more efficient.

      Why do you say it is inefficient to scan in photoshop?  I always have so much trouble setting up my scan utility for my HP scanner.  I'm at a loss and am going through a period where I'll be doing a lot of scanning.  Any help / suggestions would be appreciated.  Freddi

        I also prefer to scan straight into Photoshop. It adds in a few extra steps to scan outside of PS:(

          From the service note:

          The TWAIN scanner plug-in is no longer installed with Photoshop  CS5, but is available via web download. Supported on 32-bit Windows,  32-bit Mac OS, and 64-bit Mac OS with scanners that support 64-bit  scanner drivers.

          I don't think the CS5 extras download is ready yet,but keep a watch on it.

          So now that Adobe has published a Mac PS CS5 plug-in for TWAIN scanning, what next?  For example, when you copy the twain plug-in file into the appropriate folder as outlined in the PDF instructions, re-launch PS CS5, the File > Import option is still missing the scanner capability.  And, no, scanning files using native scanner apps and importing them into PS CS5 isn't an acceptable alternative.  Has anoyne found a fix for this or perhaps Adobe has already issued a PS CS5 update?

            It works perfectly for me:) YAHOO...I am SO GLAD to have this functionality back!!!

            miles267, did you launch Photoshop in 32-bit mode before you tried it out? It will not work in 64-bit mode:)
