I'm scanning old photos: Will Photoshop Elements 9 do this and everything else?????

Elements 9 should be able to do anything you want in terms of scanning and improving photos, unless there is a glitch in reading or accepting the scanner's driver.... which may happen if the driver for the scanner is old. When it is all working correctly, the scanner's name will show up in the import option of the left-most pull down in Elements. When you choose it and the scanner is on, you should get an interface to do the scan and the file turns up directly in the Elements editor when it is done. If there IS a compatibility issue, scans can be made with a number of accessories and freewares.... including my favorite.... Irfanview. Those files can be saved in a JPEG or TIFF format and then easily opened up for editing in Elements.

Need to scan into Adobe Photoshop CS5 / Windows 7 / 64 Bit -- wondering if you are using it for that and if it worked.

Hi KImberly! No- technically you don't! If you use certain software that can cleanly extract a person or object out of a background, no you don't have to get a green screen. That being said, Clive at the EZBackground company can walk you through if you contact him. I believe he has replied to many customers questions on the forum. Also, I use Photoshop 7 but lean on Photoshop Elements 9. THey just released version 12- and it doesn't sound like they added a tremendous amount of features that people should feel compelled to get the newest version. Plenty of PSE versions around but I would not go lower than 9. Why not ask Clive your question and tell him what software you have so he can let you know if it will be compatible? I have many digital imaging programs but I bought nothing special in order to use this incredible set of cd's! And the company offers video tutorials you can watch online or even download until you get the hang of how to use certain features. It really is a fantastic buy for the price- so do consider buying it, if you speak to Clive( or any one at the company who replies to you ) and they advise if your software is compatible. This company is great and now they are sending out terrific, informative/ educational newsletters since they just enhanced their website! Good Luck, and if you buy it- have fun! :-)

Yes it can. You have to select type of scan, e.g., tiff or JPEG. You'll probably want JPEG. You should set the resolution, which depends upon what you want to do with the scanned image. Low resolution is OK if you are going to distribute the scanned pictures in emails, but if you want to make prints ultimately, save at at least 300 dpi. You should tell the scanner where on your computer you want to save the files. I use "My Pictures," but the default, whatever it is, is OK, as long as you make a note of it, so that you can find the pictures after scanning them. You'll be asked about color settings or black and white. Choose the default settings for either, since things can become quite complex if you decide to tweak the settings. This is an excellent scanner, and it can do anything you ssk of it, including restoring damaged pictures, but that's for more advanced users.

It will scan to Mac. I can't 100% say for sure about black and white negatives as I haven't tried this. The slides we had were from the 60's and 70's so some of the negatives were faded and I thought the scan was accurate to the faded color of the slide

It can - yes. If the pictures have clear boundaries between them, it will scan them into separate files. It is a setting in the scan tool.

Yes. We scanned a number of photo's for my father-in-law's memorial, both old and new and it did a great job. Very fast and efficient in handing the scan and the file save.

If you are going to buy Photoshop Elements and have Windows 8** already on your computer, I would recommend you get the latest version of Photoshop. I believe elements 9 would work under the compatibility mode setting; but, you would not have the best or the most current version of Photoshop . There are a number of updates that make the program work much better. Best to get the latest that is written to work with the latest windows OS.

no, you cannot scan images for this software. You need a digitalizing software and from what I have found out, several thousand dollars for it :(

Good Morning Karen, I'm sure that you can. There is a place and little devise that you use to scan them and slides. I believe it will work just a GOOD as the photo scanner works. I love my scanner. I have scanned approx. 500 photos in 3 different sessions and I still need to do many many more. I have negatives that I will be scanning also. Good Luck and again I LOVE MY PERSONAL PHOTO AND NEGATIVE SCANNER. YOU WILL TOO...Sincerely,Mary J. Kinchmkinch@aol.com

I'm old school so I take it to a professional photo developer and let them do it all (negs, prints and high resolution cds). I don't think that answers your question but it's all I've got.

I've only scanned slides but I would guess photos will do well also. File format is JPEG. The file size would be limited by the space available on the micro-SD card. I'll try some photos and respond again. I am very happy with the scanner for slides, however.

What did you end up getting? You sound like you might be a novice like myself. I am simply looking to scan in/preserve family photos. I want the best results but not too complicated for the non-pro to use. I also have a macbook pro.

I have not tried scanning photos. I will give it a try and let you know next week.

I am not really sure, however I had old pictures which were a little thicker than a credit card and they scanned without any problems. I also scanned my passport book, my license, and credit cards. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions I would be more than happy to help!

Scanning negatives would be great, but to answer your question, I don't know.

No, it works like a scanner for your computer. They give you protective sleeves to put any old or delicate pictures in when you scan. It scans up to 8×10 size. I've owned it for a while and have done hundreds of photo's. ....love it.
