For a first attempt it came together remarkably well! It was fun to make.

Yeah! Roll up all that business.
I have some actual art to upload, but trying to get CS4 to run my scan software has been a tiny nightmare.
Has anyone ever installed drivers for a CanoScan LiDE 600F scanner onto a mac and managed to get Photoshop CS4 to recognize the scanner and NOT crash every time you try to scan? i was able to install it no problem for CS2, but the issue for CS4 is it's no longer made with TWAIN plug-ins that are needed to recognize the cannon drivers. i managed to install them, and i can open the scan software in photoshop, but trying to preview the image crashes the whole program. maybe i installed something wrong, or maybe everything's just messed up in general.
blah blah blah. TECHNOLOGY, am i right?

CS4 actually still has TWAIN support, its an optional plug-in they left out of the Mac version for some odd reason (it came packaged in the Windows one :-\). Anywho you can get the Mac plug in here:

Another issue might be if you're on Snow Leopard with all of its incompatible drivers glory. I couldn't scan with our Mac at work on SL until canon released a set of new drivers. After I installed them the issue resolved itself. Even if you're not on Snow Leopard, I'd still try updating the drivers anyways if you haven't already. Grab the most current drivers here:

If CS4 is still bugging out, try out Image Capture if you have it:

If all that doesn't work I would write Canon or consult the 'Genius' bar.
Holy crap, thank you Anonymous tipster! It's totally fixed!
No problem, happy to help!
