Re: Nikon Scan software

[Peder Kristensen]

Hi Chris,

I have been using VueScan Pro for some time, and I’m very happy with it. The 
pro version gives you extra scanning features and unlimited software updates. 
Contra to other scanning softwares, like SilverFast, it does not have a lot of 
pre editing corrections. These are mainly made post scan, using Photoshop or 
other similar products.

I suggest you try out the demo versions, also for supported scanner, see 
http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm#supported

I did also get the VueScan Bible book, which gives you more in-depth 
information about the VueScan scanning features.

Cheers,
Peder

Re: Nikon Scan software

Chris,

I have been using VueScan for about 8 years now. It has great depth of features 
and drives just about any device that can scan, regardless of age. For example, 
I am currently using it to digitise a book printed in 1870, using the feature 
where the output is a pdf file with the images of pages, but with an OCR text 
overlay. Produced in one step, all by VueScan. My current scanner is a 6 year 
old CanoScan, and VueScan drives it without missing a beat.

Have had many tens of updates over the 8 years, all free because I bought the 
Pro version.

Hi Chris,

Also, If you upgraded to Snow Leopard, you might find you need to re-install 
Nikon Scan 4.20 before it will launch.

Re: Nikon Scan software

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Chris,

Try to open Nikon Scan 4.02 and if Rosetta is not already installed Snow 
Leopard will display a dialogue saying that you need Rosetta to run this 
program and offer to download and install it for you.
Clicking 'Not Now' stops the installation process, and your application won't 
launch. 
Clicking 'Install'  downloads and installs Rosetta from Apple's servers so your 
app can properly launch.

Or you can install Rosetta from the Optional Installs on your Snow Leopard 
Installation DVD.
Insert the Snow Leopard installation DVD, open the Optional Installs folder, 
double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg file, and follow the installer 
instructions.

Cheers,
Ronni.

Re: Nikon Scan software

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Chris,

Did you install Rosetta when you upgraded to Snow Leopard?

Nikon Scan 4.0.2 apparently will run on OS X 10.6 if you installed Rosetta when 
you upgraded to Snow Leopard.

Cheers,
Ronni

Nikon Scan software

[Chris Burton]

Hi Muggers

I was about to wipe the dust off my trusty Nikon IV film scanner and thought I 
would check if the NikonScan software will run on OS 10.6. It doesnt!! 
It seems Nikon has not done any upgrades for this or many others in a long time.

The Nikon website suggests using a 3rd party software provider called VueScan 
up to V 9 by the looks of it with a price tag of about $80 for the pro version.

I thought I would ask folks in the Group if you have any advice/experience etc 
with VueScan or if there is any other good software that is a little less 
expensive?

Many thanks and kind regards

Chris

Printer driver for TX300F Epson

[Bill Parker]

I have just a while looking for a printer driver for the Epson Tx300F for Lion. 
  I cannot find it.   Am I to believe that Epson have not developed this?  Same 
computer  ( a new MacAir), this time Canon 310 - no problem.
