Where's The Image?

I use Vuescan 7.6.65 with an Epson flatbed scanner. Vuescan is set to
automatically open scanned images using Photoshop CS as a "Viewer".
Windows "folder options" is set to also default tif files to
Photoshop.

When Photoshop opens (prompted by Vuescan) it does not display my
Vuescan tif image. Instead, a "New" dialogue box opens (like the one
in "File" menu > "New") but there is no image (only various options to
select). Clicking on "OK" opens a new (blank) box in whatever
"Background" mode was selected (but no image). The image file can
however, be found in my "Photoshop Project" folder (which is in a
different partition, if that means anything).

What's wrong here & how do I fix it so my scanned image opens
automatically in Photoshop?

Best regards, Dick

That is long standing problem, and seems to happen with lots of machines,
maybe ALL machines, I dunno.

Has always been the case for me with VueScan, Win98SE and PhotoShop 6 and
7 (maybe 5.5 too, I can't remember).

Trick is to go ahead and manually open the first file in PS after the
scan (close the "new" dialogue) and THEN additional images scanned with
VueScan *will* appear in PS after they save.

Thanks for the tip Mac - it "worked like a charm". One thing I had to
do though was to use "default" for the viewer option (TIF files were
already associated with Photoshop) rather than the path to
Photoshop.exe. I now use Photoshop CS and Windows XP Pro. But it seems
to me that on earlier versions of PS/Windows (I go back to 5.0/95) I
always used the exe path. Regardless, it's working fine now. Best

Great...thanks for the info.
My box, have all raster file types set to IrfanView.
So have to put in PS path in VueScan if I want to use it that way. (and
first image never appears, as per your orig. post).

But, I seldom use it that way, so it's not a big hassle for me.

I found the automatic opening of "viewer" got old real fast, and
turned it off very soon after first acquiring Vuescan, in the prefs
tab. Using Vuescan to launch another program after each scan is not
very popular, I would think. If you're batch scanning, you really
don't need this.

Just my 2 cents.
