The KODAK MAC software driver allows a user to use the

Kodak MAC driver for the PS50 and PS80 with their user

supplied scanning application that supports TWAIN drivers.

This version supports Mac OS V10.6 - 10.11. but there are

differences with 10.9/10/11 (Maverick/Yosemite/El Capitan)

as compared to the earlier versions. User must supply their

own scanning application as the Kodak Picture Saver

Scanning Software is not supported on MAC systems.

When installing the Kodak MAC drivers for the PS50/80 on a

MAC with El Capitan, please pay attention to the special

instructions on the Kodak Alaris Web site as to th extra steps

required to load those drivers.

This document intention is to document the changes required

for successfully using the MAC drivers for the Kodak Pictures

Saver Scanning Systems with either Adobe’s Photoshop or

Photoshop elements programs.

Saving multiple files at the

same time with Photoshop

Elements

In this example, I scanned multiple images and displayed all the open images on the Elements

screen. To save all files at once, use: File-> Process Multiple Files to save all of the open files

10

When you select Process Multiple Files, you have to set the destination, file name sequence,

File Type, etc, then click ok. Shortly all will be saved and removed from Elements.
