A Tiger compatibility list

It seems to me that there is perhaps a need for a thread here to list Tiger compatibility/

incompatibility. I am really not expecting many issues when I upgrade, but I guess there

are some people here who would like to be much more sure of things before they upgrade

to (or, perhaps, switch to) Tiger.

So, how about we post:

a) questions about compatibility with scanners/printers/software

b) reports about satisfactory or unsatisfactory compatibility

To start it off, I am interested in hearing about compatibility reports for:

- Wacom Graphire 3

- Minolta SE5400

- Epson 3200

- Photoshop CS

- Epson R800

- Vuescan

- Silverfast SE 6

- Fuji S2 Pro raw software

If you think this thread is not a good plan, by all means, say so :)

Works with:<br>

Epson 1280, 2200 and 4000<BR>

Eposn 2450 and Nikon LS4000<BR>

All of Adobe CS2 <BR>

VueScan<BR>

Toast Titanium

<P>Doesn't work with Portfolio 7.0

Extensis sent out a notice last week about portfolio 7 not working with Tiger. Also said a

Tiger compatible version is i nthe works and due shortly:

"Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is incompatible with the current version of Extensis Portfolio 7. We

are aware of this issue and will deliver a Tiger compatibility update very soon. For more

information, please visit our Extensis Products Compatibility web page at http://

www.extensis.com/en/support/product_compatibility.jsp

If you have any specific questions regarding your version of Portfolio 7, please contact the

Photoshop CS and CS 2 not working. Opens RAW files for editing but when clicking 'open'

same error message everytime 'Could not complete your request because of a program error'.

Image ready is working.

Minolta Dimage Scan Utility not working.

Everything else is fine. Epson 2200, Illustrator and so on.

If you do an 'archive and install' and experience problems with photoshop CS, check out <a

have reported that it solved their problems.

<P>And thats how we found out Portfolio wouldn't work with Tiger and Photoshop CS2,

along with Mask Pro v3.0, pxlSmartScale v1.0, Intellihance v4.1 and PhotoFrame v2.5.

<P>Here is the site: http://www.extensis.com/en/support/product_compatibility.jsp

No problem on my end running CS or CS2 on Tiger. Depending on how you installed the OS,

you may need to reinstall software since some system/library files will be trashed, especially

if you did an Archive and Install (which is safe).

Pretty painless upgrade as far as I can tell.

Working hardware:

- USB card reader / USB key fob thingy

- Minolta Scan Dual II

- HP Deskjet 940C

- Palm Tungsten (took some fiddling about)

- SonyErricson T630

Working software:

- Office 2004

- VPC 7 (claims that some networking thing doesn't work, but I can still connect to my

network)

- Photoshop Elements 3

- Adium

Seems worth the upgrade just for Spotlight to me!

Photoshop is working fine for me. My Nikon Scan software gives me a message saying that it

didn't initialize correctly, but it works fine, nonetheless. I was having issues with the Wacom

Intuos 2 driver, but that appears to have faded away. I haven't printed on my R300 yet, but

my printer setup is not showing a seperate borderless option (which might be a good thing,

but I fear otherwise). I have yet to try any Canon software, and I have yet to try my Epson

4870.

So far, as for Fuji S2 Pro related applications, Fine Pix seems to be working; however, the

Camera Shooting Software crashes on application startup. This a repeating, consisten

problem, not an occasional crash. Can't use it until Fuji updates it and who knows when that

will be given how "quickly" they've jumped on such things in the past and provided fixes.

Hah!

Actually, the fuji camera shooting software crashes for me under 10.3.9, too, but usually

not until I try to take a photo.

A small caveat on Silverfast SE6. The newest (6.4.1r8) version crashes immediately with my

G5/adaptec 29160N/HP 4C. Down grading to 6.2 something or other gives you some

function, however the <Scan> button does not work ( at least on my machine.) However, the

<Scan> button on the Scanpilot menu does work. Of course your mileage might vary.

On the other hand 6.4.1r8 works perfectly on my G5/Epson Perfection 2450.

Go Figure.
