or background, and animated text. For

presentations. Use the File option to open
a SHOW Slide, or the Folder option to

Loading Content from Digital
Input Devices
You can scan images directly into SHOW
or load them from a digital camera using
the TWAIN Interface.
Using an application interface called
TWAIN, SHOW interacts directly with
most scanners and digital cameras. Using
TWAIN features, you can control how an
image is loaded.
The features available in the TWAIN
dialog depend on the scanner connected
to your computer.

1. Move the cursor over the TWAIN
label, then click the Load Pictures
from a Digital Input Device button.
Then choose Select TWAIN Source
from the pop-up menu. The Select
Source dialog appears.
Use the TWAIN option to scan images into
SHOW.
2. Choose your scanner, then click OK.
3. Click the Load Pictures from a Digital
Input Device button again, then
choose Set Destination for Acquires
and Imports from the pop-up. The
Set Destination dialog appears.
4. Choose a location for your scanned
images. The default is the Images
Auto-acquired folder in the SHOW
application folder.
5. Click the Save File as Type pop-up,
then choose a file format for your
scanned files.
6. Click the Load Pictures from a Digital
Input Device button again, then
choose TWAIN Acquire from the
pop-up. The TWAIN dialog appears.

image into SHOW.
