Understanding and opening images

Import images using a TWAIN interface

TWAIN is a cross-platform interface for acquiring images captured by certain scanners, digital cameras, and frame

grabbers.

1 Install the TWAIN software provided by the device manufacturer.

2 Download the Photoshop TWAIN plug-in for Windows or Mac OS.

The plug-in supports 32-bit Windows and Mac OS. It also supports 64-bit Mac OS 10.6 if the scanner manufacturer

provides 64-bit drivers. (Very few do, so

most Mac OS users must run Photoshop in 32-bit mode.)

3 Choose File > Import, and select the device you want to use from the submenu.

Import images using a WIA interface (Windows only)

1 Choose File > Import > WIA Support.

2 Choose a destination on your computer for saving your image files.

3 Click Start.

4 Select Open Acquired Images In Photoshop (unless you have a large number of images to import, or if you want to

edit the images at a later time).

5 Select Unique Subfolder if you want to save imported images in a folder named with the current date.

6 Select the scanner that you want to use.

Note: If the name of your scanner does not appear in the submenu, verify that the software and drivers were properly

installed and that the scanner is connected.

7 Choose the kind of image you want to scan: Color Picture, Grayscale Picture, or Black And White Picture or Text.

To specify custom settings, select Adjust The Quality Of The Scanned Picture.

8 Click Preview. If necessary, drag the handles of the bounding box to adjust the size of the crop.

9 Click Scan.

The scanned image is saved in BMP format.
