Marty Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I recently purchased a Canon LiDE600F scanner. I installed the software that came with the scanner, but do not like the interface of it at all. It is not very user friendly, and confusing to use. I would prefer to scan using PSE6, or ACDSEE photomanager, but when I go to file>get photos from scanner, it brings up that awful software that came with the scanner. (Arcsoft Photo studio). I can't figure out how to change the settings to not have this be the default. I wanted a higher resolution scanner, and want to make sure that I am scanning at a higher resolution.....is anyone familiar with this scanner, or have any suggestions on the software issues? My Mom and Dad both have passed away within the past 2 years, and I am the keeper of all family photos now. I really want to get these scanned for my brother and sister, and maybe do some Shutterfly books also. I would appreciate any and all input that you may have. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriL Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have no ideas, but I thought I'd bump this back to the top for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBarnes Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Oh shoot, I should know how to do that because that is exactly what I did. I have a similar scanner and PSE5 and I do scan through PSE. Let me see if I can figure it out. My desktop is running a Norton scan right now so it may be awhile be I get back. Hopefully one of the better computer geeks will come along and be able to help.

April Showers Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I use the software that came with my scanner, but I have heard that SilverFast by Lasersoft is good. Haven't tried it myself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9Buckles Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have a Canon LiDE600F and always scan via PSE (5.0). Go to File>Import>CanoScanLiDE600F. I love the multi-scan feature - it scans at 300dpi and separates the images. I've never had any trouble with it and I use it a lot since we just got a digital camera a year ago. I have 18 albums of good old-fashioned 4x6 pictures that I use for scrapping so they have to be scanned in. I do 3 or 4 at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Showers Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 That is how I do mine too, through Photoshop with a different scanner though. It brings up the scanning software and is pretty handy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
