JIm, Thanks for the reply. If Paint.net couldn't import anything from the scanner, or if it failed randomly (within pages 1 to 12) then I'd definitely replace the cable. But since it scans pages 1 to 12 just fine and the problem only occurs after scanning 12 images, it looks to me like a Paint.net problem. Especially since there were no communication errors reported at all, it is unlikely a hardware error. If I close the open files and scan again, the scanning works. Defintely looks like a Paint.Net problem. BTW, I'm using Win7 64 bit. Mad Painter

I am using paint.net v3.5.10 on Win7 64 bit. I can acquire images (File > Acquire > From Scanner or Camera ..) just fine from my Canon MP470 scanner via USB. So what's the problem you say? After scanning in 10 or 12 images, paint.net stops loading the scanned images for image 13, 14, 15 etc.. These scanned images just don't show up in the list of open files. It still goes through the scanning process for image 13,14,15 etc., but what I'm left with is just images 1 to 12. I've scanned in 15 or 20 images at a time only to look at the image list in the paint.net toolbar to find images #13-#20 missing. Where did they go? I can try to scan images again, but they still won't show up after being scanned. To get around the problem I have to close all of the open images (images 1 to 12) then rescan images 13 onward. It seems paint.net can only hold about 12 images at a time. There are no error messages saying the scan failed. Just the contrary. It appears the 13th+ scan worked but I end up with no scanned image. I am using Win 7 with 8gb RAM. What's going on? TIA Mad Painter

I have 100 .gif files and I'd like to convert them to .jpg. Is there an easy way to do this as a batch instead of 1 file at a time? TIA MP
