TWAIN Driver
Using the provided TWAIN application allows the transfer
of photos from the digital camera to a computer. Following
is a discussion of key software points to make the process of
image transfer easier.
TWAIN is defined by a standard software protocol and API
for communication between software applications and
image acquisition devices (digital cameras and scanners).
The TWAIN driver is the software that transfers photos
from the digital camera into graphic-editing software.
When downloading images with the TWAIN driver, the
images appear as a series of thumbnails in the window.
The TWAIN interface shows all the images from the
camera. Images can be saved on the computer, moved to an
image-editing program, one or more images can be selected
or deselected, and rotated. Through the TWAIN driver, you
can even control the camera; taking pictures from the
computer, setting camera status, or viewing specific camera
information.
With the TWAIN software, there's an on-line help section
that can assist if any problems are encountered. Just press
the HELP button inside of the image-editing software and
select your topic.
