OSX, SilverFast AI 5.52R12, Epson 1650 Photo

[Feisar]

Has anyone had any luck getting an Epson Perfection 1650 Photo running in OSX using SilverFast AI 5.52R12? I tried the beta Epson OSX Twain driver and have been only able to aquire through Photoshop 7 using the Epson OSX Twain driver. SilverFast does not recognized the scanner as being turned on through the standalone app. or aquire through PS7. Am I stuck in aquiring in OS9 for now? Also when I installed the Photoshop plugin in OS9 the installer placed all the files inside the PS7 Twain file (plugin, files, IT8 cal, help files) - is this supposed to happen cause you can't select IT8 profiles inside the PS7 Twain file.

Did you try the latest OSX Update ?

Tried the lastest OS X version of SilverFast AI for Epson, still doesn't work. Have Epson scan to file instead per your notes, still no go. Hate to say this but v**s**n works without needing Epson drivers - software not that great though compared to AI.

Forget it, it doesn't work with OS X. But it works fine with Photoshop in Classic mode.

I just downloaded the lastest version of SliverFast (demo) and the Epson Scan to File software for OS/X. Scan to file, works fine (from photoshop & stand alone), but SilverFast does not. It complains that "There was no scanner found!..." .

So what's up with this. Is this a known problem? Is SilverFast planning to fix this any time soon?

Thank you.

Dear Javey,
it is true, the Perf. 1650 cannot be found by SilverFast OSX! LaserSoft Imaging is working on a fix to this.
