I was none too pleased to spend a fortune on CS5 then find that I was unable to continue scanning my 1960’s negatives using my brilliant Epson Perfection 3170 Scanner. I opened up my old version of Adobe Elements 8 and there was the import option under the ‘File’ menu.. No problems at all.
I’ll do all my batch scanning via Elements 8, save the files to my usual designated folders, then reopen in CS5 to process.. A slight hiccup, but no problem!
