I'm not sure I understand your latest response (other than that your scanner IS set up properly on your system, as it should be).
In GIMP, in the File menu, right underneath "New..." there should be an option called "Create" that opens a submenu, on which there should be an option labeled "Scanner/Camera". This option should be on the menu even if you don't have any registered TWAIN devices connected/available for GIMP to read from. I don't have a Mac system so I can't reproduce the scenario myself and I'm kind of in the dark here. One important question to know is -- is yours one of those printer+scanner combo units? -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ________________________________ From: gimp-user-list <gimp-user-list-boun...@gnome.org> on behalf of Zbig <for...@gimpusers.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2016 12:16 AM To: gimp-user-list@gnome.org Cc: notificati...@gimpusers.com Subject: [Gimp-user] How to scan scan under Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 [ . . . ] After the new installation of GIMP 2.8.18 no menu create - from Scanner can be found.
