OK Laura,
We can use my original Instructions in "Full Auto Mode" (which is much
easier than "Home Mode" and good quality).
Just MAKE SURE that in "Embed ICC Profile" if OFF ... don't tick it!
The problem was iPhoto doesn't handle the "Embed Profile".
Cheers,
Ronni who is "Out of Here" for a while, Cloe has been very patient
waiting for her walk.

Hi Laura,
Are you using iPhoto '09? I just scanned some B&W photos using the
settings I gave you before and they DON'T work in iPhoto '09.
I'm sure I used those settings before in iPhoto '08 ...
These settings do work in iPhoto '09:
Home Mode: Document Type - Photograph
Image Type: Color
Destination: Other
Resolution: 300 dpi
Target Size: Original
Image Adjustments: Descreening & Dust Removal
tick Thumbnail
Then click "Configuration" - under 'Color' check "ColorSync" Source
(Scanner): EPSON Standard
Target: sRGB
Auto Exposure Level: High
Click OK
Back in Home Mode window, Click Preview
Then 'click & drag' your cursor around the image you want to scan,
then click 'Scan' and then OK.
Cheers,
Ronni

Laura,
I forgot in "File Save Settings" - Location: Other: Choose & locate
your folder on the desktop (so all the scans will go into it so you
can then import the folder of scanned photos into iPhoto and batch
change them all at once).

Then click File Save Settings - Image Format Type: JPEG & click

Then "Scan"

I am scanning the photos using Auto Mode in Epson Scan and was
not aware of being able to choose grey scale or anything else.
However I have just checked Home Mode rather than Auto Mode and
grey scale shows there but it is black and white that is
selected. Destination is shown as printer so perhaps that should
be changed. The other options are "screen/web" or "other". The
resolution remains the same at 300 dpi
Best wishes

Please can someone help me with my problem.
So far I have scanned 12 of a number of old B&W photos to use in
a Birthday Book project.
As recommended recently by Susan, I am using Snapfish to upload
my photos before creating the book. It seems ideal for my
purpose but some of the editing tools e.g. cropping, are not
available to Mac users. So I need to put the B&W photos into
iPhoto to edit them before uploading.
The scanned images are in a folder on the desktop from where
they can be viewed without any trouble at all. However once in
iPhoto they are black, no image at all. I've tried using some of
the adjustments available to no avail.
Then I discovered that if saved as .pct rather than .jpg I can
put them into iPhoto edit them and do whatever I wish with them.
The trouble with that idea is that to upload to Snapfish photos
have to be jpg. So I scanned them all again as jpg but, apart
from three photos which, for some unaccountable reason are
perfect, the rest are blanks when put in iPhoto.
Would the resolution at which the photos are scanned have
something to do with the problem? This is currently 300 dpi and
why it works with some but not all photos is quite beyond me.
Kind regards
Laura
Hi Laura,
How are you scanning the original B&W photos?
You aren't scanning in grayscale are you?
You need to us the sRGB colour profile - iPhoto does not work
with grayscale colour profiles.
