Scanning images

Before you scan an image, make sure that the
software necessary for your scanner has been
installed. To ensure a high-quality scan, you
should predetermine the scanning resolution
and dynamic range your image requires. These
preparatory steps can also prevent unwanted color
casts from being introduced by your scanner.
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS
Scanner drivers are provided and supported by
the manufacturers of the scanners, not Adobe
Systems Incorporated. If you have problems with
scanning, make sure that you are using the latest
version of the appropriate scanner driver.
Importing scanned images
You can import scanned images directly from any
scanner that has an Adobe Photoshop-compatible
plug-in module or that supports the TWAIN
interface. To import the scan using a plug-in
module, choose the scanner name from the File >
Import submenu. See your scanner documen-
tation for instructions on installing the scanner
plug-in. For general plug-in information,
see "Using plug-in modules" on page 40.
If your scanner does not have an Adobe
Photoshop-compatible scanner driver, import the
scan using the TWAIN interface. (See "Importing
an image using the TWAIN interface" on page 51.)
If you can't import the scan using the TWAIN
interface, use the scanner manufacturer's software
to scan your images, and save the images as TIFF,
PICT, or BMP files. Then open the files in
Photoshop Elements.
Importing an image using the TWAIN
interface
TWAIN is a cross-platform interface for acquiring
images captured by certain scanners, digital
cameras, and frame grabbers. The manufacturer
of the TWAIN device must provide a Source
Manager and TWAIN Data source for your device
to work with Photoshop Elements.
