Just updated to Photoshop CS4 but apparently they don't support something called TWAIN anymore, think that is what my scanner used to use.
On the photoshop support site they mention something about accessing my device through Rosetta (PPC) OS but I have no idea what this is or where to find it. Any ideas anyone?
Tried copying the TWaiN plugin to the import/export folder and restarted photoshop again but that didnt work.

I can't even seem to start the scanner up by pressing the button on the front, nothing happens so I can't even scan an image in and then open it in Photoshop.
The scanner does work as I was using it this morning before I upgraded so its not faulty

My scanner is an old model, CanoScan N65ou

Thanks

thanks, tried that Vuescan.
It seemed to work but the quality didn't seem as good, just have to keep trying to fiddle around with the settings I guess
