Acquiring Images From Scanners - Ulead PHOTOIMPACT 11 User Manual

Acquiring images from scanners

You can import images from any image input device that is TWAIN compliant.
TWAIN is an industry standard for image input devices, drivers, and software
applications allowing TWAIN-compatible applications and devices to communicate
with each other.
To select the default image source:
1. Select File: Scanner - Select Source. A list of TWAIN devices appears. Select
a device as the image data source.
Note: If you only have one TWAIN device connected, that device automatically
becomes the TWAIN source.
2. Click Device Type to specify the type of input device and then click OK.
3. In the Select Source dialog box, click the appropriate driver and then click
Select. You are now ready to use your input device by clicking the
corresponding button on the Standard Toolbar.
To acquire an image from a scanner:
1. Click the arrow next to the Scanner icon on the Standard Toolbar.
2. In the menu that appears, select "Device Name" TWAIN (where Device Name
is the name of your source device) either with or without post-processing.
Note: Post-processing offers additional controls when acquiring an image. These
include slicing, calibration, destination, and other settings.
3. If you select TWAIN without post-processing, the TWAIN driver appears. To
acquire images, simply follow the directions for that device.
If you select post-processing, then the Acquire Image dialog box appears.
After making the desired settings, click Acquire. The driver for that device
appears. Follow the directions for that device.
Notes:
• Make sure your TWAIN device is properly installed in your computer before
acquiring.
• For more information on specific imaging options, see the image device
manufacturer's documentation.
