HI Ronni and Neil
I am using iPhoto8. The only items not checked in your list were Dust
Removal, Colour Restoration and Auto Photo restoration. Everything
else was as you suggested. The scanned result was the same, no image
in iPhoto.
Neil, I've now just scanned one photo as .tif which works as does
the .pct so tomorrow I'll try and digest all your information and see
what happens next.
Thank you both for your suggestions. Watch this space!!
Best wishes
Laura

Hi Laura,
Open Epson Scan - Full Auto Mode - click customize tick all these
settings "Specify documents type for full Auto Mode" "Photograph/
Document" Specify resolution for full Auto Mode" 300dpi "Dust
Removal" "Color Restoration" "Auto Photo Orientation"
Then click File Save Settings - Image Format Type: JPEG & click
Options "Image Quality Options" move slider to highest quality -
Encoding Standard and Tick "Embed ICC Profile" click OK
Then "Scan"
Cheers,

I am scanning the photos using Auto Mode in Epson Scan and was not
aware of being able to choose grey scale or anything else. However
I have just checked Home Mode rather than Auto Mode and grey scale
shows there but it is black and white that is selected. Destination
is shown as printer so perhaps that should be changed. The other
options are "screen/web" or "other". The resolution remains the
same at 300 dpi
Best wishes

Please can someone help me with my problem.
So far I have scanned 12 of a number of old B&W photos to use in a
Birthday Book project.
As recommended recently by Susan, I am using Snapfish to upload my
photos before creating the book. It seems ideal for my purpose but
some of the editing tools e.g. cropping, are not available to Mac
users. So I need to put the B&W photos into iPhoto to edit them
before uploading.
The scanned images are in a folder on the desktop from where they
can be viewed without any trouble at all. However once in iPhoto
they are black, no image at all. I've tried using some of the
adjustments available to no avail.
Then I discovered that if saved as .pct rather than .jpg I can put
them into iPhoto edit them and do whatever I wish with them. The
trouble with that idea is that to upload to Snapfish photos have
to be jpg. So I scanned them all again as jpg but, apart from
three photos which, for some unaccountable reason are perfect, the
rest are blanks when put in iPhoto.
Would the resolution at which the photos are scanned have
something to do with the problem? This is currently 300 dpi and
why it works with some but not all photos is quite beyond me.
Kind regards
Laura
Hi Laura,
How are you scanning the original B&W photos?
You aren't scanning in grayscale are you?
You need to us the sRGB colour profile - iPhoto does not work with
grayscale colour profiles.
Cheers,
