Epson 2450 Using Photoshop CS (v8) OS 10.6.3

Having trouble using my Epson 2450 scanner after installing OS 10.6.3 I am using an older version of Photoshop CS (I guess it would be version 8). I have installed the epson twain driver utility 2.77 When I select import and choose epson 2450 photoshop basically crashes. There is not an option in this version of photoshop to print using rosetta when I do a get info on it. I'm disappointed that I can no longer scan into photoshop. Any suggestions or remedies are much appreciated.

G5 Quad, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

For others that may be using an older version of photoshop and the Epson Perfection 2450 Photo scanner and have upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.3 you can still use the scanner. It must be plugged directly into your mac, not a hub. Use the application "Preview" from the applications folder. Go to File and choose Import From Scanner and choose the Epson Perfection 2450. You can now scan, save your file and then open it up in Photoshop or wherever. Epson is working on a new driver for 10.6.3 I was advised to keep checking their website for an update.

This is a help forum, not a social forum to make obscure irrelevant posts like yours. If you have a helpful piece of information that might help someone, then by all means post it. If you merely post your opinions of which you have no knowledge of, then you have not served the forum in the best way, but merely blurted out senseless information that is of no use to anyone. TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT THIS SCANNER AND SNOW LEOPARD DO WORK TOGETHER as I have previously posted. Epson advised to keep checking to see if they update their drivers for Mac OS 10.6.3 so that you can use the scanner from within Photoshop. I only hope that such posts such as yours don't discourage other users that use these discussion forums to help find answers to their questions. I AM lucky that I don't stop investigating issues that I have with my Mac due to incorrect or personal opinions that are posted in these forums.

Hello,
Your postings are interesting and encouraging in that I am finding I am not alone with my similar problem with my Epson 2450 importing into Photoshop. Last week I purchased an Epson V700, I installed the scanner but found it not to my liking and returned it. Yesterday I downloaded and ran the Uninstaller to remove the V700. This however deleted my 2450 driver as well. I reinstalled the 2450 driver from Epson but then, and after repeated attempts, found that the 2450 is not showing up as an import option. Please note that I am still using Tiger. Any suggestions to getting this all working again as it has for the past 8 years would be greatly appreciated. One simple use of an uninstaller has turned for the worse - I wish I had just kept the V700 installed and just ignored that it was still listed in Photoshop as an import choice.

Guess the only helpful thing is to avoid Epson in the future. It is the third time i run out of support. 2 Printers, 1 Scanner. And i'm not talking about 50$-gadgets.

And it would – at least - be helpful i you would state "not supported by Epson" on your website instead of offering a driver for 10.6 Intel which neither supports 10.6 nor Intel. Would have prevented me from wasting time for downloading and installing it.

I'm having similar problems in 10.6.4. Epson Scan freezes whenever I try to use it, as a stand alone or in Photoshop CS3 (running in Rosetta).

So, Syd, are you confirming that Epson Scan no longer works in 10.6.3 (and I assume 10.6.4)? That the only way to use the scanner is image capture?

(And a side question - it's possible to scan using image capture from within Photoshop?)

Thanks.
