jason_george3 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Anybody have this combo of gear, and able to make the three work together? I would love a solution to this, as Nikon Scan 4 (as far as I can tell) won't work as a plug-in to the Photoshop CS3 Import menu. Much thanks, Jason.

stp Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Yes, I'm using CS3, an Intel MAC, and Nikon Scan 4 (Nikon 8000). All work just fine together. However, I use Nikon Scan independently of CS3, so if you want to use them in a more integrated fashion, I can't be of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I now keep my scanning programs separate from Photoshop. It makes the process a bit more efficient than using the scanning program as a plug in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_caulfeild_browne Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I use CS3 with Nikon Scan 4 on my MacPro (now with Leopard) and it works just fine. I thought I might have to reinstall the plug-in after moving to Leopard, but did not need to. I suggest you try a complete re-install of Nikon Scan 4.

claywalker Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I cannot make Nikon Scan 4 open in 10.4.11 with a MacBook Pro. I did a clean install and have yet to be able to make the plug-in work from PS3 or the standalone Nikon Scan Software. The last update of the software pre-dates the intel machines so I am curious when an update might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry_blagrave Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I have a MacBook Pro and use CS3. If you run CS3 natively, it will not load the Nikon Scan plug-in. Run CS3 using Rosetta and the plug-in will load as it should. You should also change your energy saver sleep setting to "never". CS3 runs much more quickly in native so you should only run it using Rosetta when you need to use the Scanner within CS3. I hope this solution works for you as it did for me.

claywalker Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I am curious what folder you place the Nikon Scan plug in? I have tried what you have described and I receive the message "A serious error has occurred" when trying to launch the plugin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindy_fandl1 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm having the same problem! I'm running OS10.4.1 on a G5. I tried downloading and re-installing Nikon scan 4 and the update and I get the same error message " serious error occurred initializing program". If anyone has any suggestions - I'm desperate! Gotta get something scanned for a client by tomorrow! Thanks! Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claywalker Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Can't get it to work on my MacBook Pro. I do not believe it will work. I've tried launching CS3 in Rosetta, I have also tried it as a legacy plug-in in CS3 and it just spins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

county photographer Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I am running a Mac Book Pro with OS 10.5.4. I finally got Photoshop to import my Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED (Nikon Scan 4.02 upgrade software) by placing the plugin into the Import/Export folder of Photoshop CS3 then launching the application in Rosetta. This is done by highlighting the Adobe Photoshop icon in the Applications folder when the program is closed, then File - Get Info and check the box "Rosetta". (BTW this is how you open Kodak PCD files now too.) However, doing my first Batch scan of negs the whole thing crashed so I am back to doing my batches with the Nikon Scan software alone. There was a warning when I upgraded the Nikon Scan 4 to 4.02 that it was not officially supported for the OS 10.5.x version although it also stated that the improvements in this upgrade were no more freeze ups of the scanner. Overall, to paraphrase Shania Twain, I am not impressed with any of this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
