[alt-photo] TANGENTIALLY ON TOPIC: HELP W/ CS-5 & SCANNER?

[BOB KISS]

DEAR LIST,

            As I use my Epson V750 pro mostly to scan negs to make enlarged
digital negs for alt processes I think the following question can be
considered on topic.  

This is for those who have used CS-5 and the V750.  I just bought a young
but used laptop that has CS-5 and Lightroom on it for about a quarter of
what I would pay for CS-5 alone.  Good deal.  I just loaded on my scanner
and printer drivers and programs and went on line to update them to the
latest versions.  With my old computer and CS-2, when I want to scan, I hit
"file" them "import" and there are Epson VL750 and Epson Digital Ice as two
of the options waiting for me along with WAI and my webcam.  This allows me
to scan right into Frotoshop and save the files as PSDs, my preferred file.
I seem to recall that it was a matter of setting some preferences in
Frotoshop to connect with the scanner (or was it the scanner program to work
with Frotoshop?) but, either way, it works.  Can anyone tell me how to set
this up with CS-5 and Epson Scan?  I have hunted for "preferences" or
"advanced settings" buttons and I know I will be embarrassed at how simple
this will be when you tell me but, after 3 hours, I am stumped!

            No, I don't want to use Epson scan alone to generate a Tiff and
then open it in Frotoshop and convert to PSD.I REALLY want to open CS-5, hit
"file" then "import" and find the Epson scanner there exactly as I do on my
old computer with CS-2.  I am praying that some recent feud between Epson
and Adobe has not rendered this impossible.  Any hope?

                        CHEERS!
