Photoshop 5.5 Can't Find Calibration

Postby cthomas » Tue Jan 20, 2004 9:48 pm

G4 Mac OS 9.2 Photoshop 5.5 Silverfast 6(How do I tell what version?)
Microtek ArtixScan 120tf

When attempting to scan directly via the Silverfast application everything appears to work fine. I originally performed the calibrartion earlier with no problems.

When attempting to Import into Photoshop 5.5 I get a calibration error. How do i fix this?

Also I occasionly get an out of memory error. The machine has 1GB of RAM! Where does the actuall application live so that I can increase the memory partition for it?

Unfortunately upgradeing Photoshop or MacOS at this time is not feasible.

Dear Cris

you can tell the version of SilverFast you are using from different sources, e.g. look at the title bar of the settings windows, click on the info-button in the prescan window, or look it up in SF_Logfile.

Does the "calibration error" occur all the time, often, rarely when you are trying to import to Photoshop 5.5?

In Mac OS 9 you need to tell the operating system how much memory an application might use. Locate the SF_Launcher within /Apps/Silverfast or /Apps/Lasersoft and Photoshop in /Apps/Adobe Photoshop and press CMD-I for info (or select "info" from the Finder "File" menu).
There you want to give the application much more memory than Mac OS usually reserves.

Furthermore, keep a look on the space remaining on the hard drive (or, to be accurate, the partition) Photoshop and SilverFast are using as a scratch disk for temporary files. You want to have at least one gig free.
