Opening and Creating Image Files
1. Images can be opened from an album whether the Album Palette is "floating" or "snapped".
However, having the Album Palette "floating" on the desktop will provide access to all of the control
buttons and display more, if not all, of the images contained in a specific album.
2. After an album is selected, "snap" the Album Palette to make the desktop less crowded. In this case,
click the up or down arrows to navigate through the album to find the images to be opened.
3. To access all of the options on the Album Platte when it's snapped, simply click the Control Button
(insert button here) on the Album Palette.

Acquiring Images from a TWAIN Device

PhotoStudio supports image acquisition from TWAIN devices such as digital cameras and scanners. When
acquiring images from a TWAIN device, make sure the proper TWAIN driver is installed and that the
TWAIN device is properly connected.
To acquire an image:
1. Click File on the Main Menu, then click Select Source.
2. In the Select Source dialog box, highlight the device driver, then click Select.
3. Click File on the Main Menu, then click Acquire, or simply click the Acquire button on the Quick
Access Bar.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts and/or consult the manual for the TWAIN device to complete the file
acquisition.
You can also choose Acquire/Acquire multiple photos from scanner to acquire multiple images in a
single scan. This will allow you to use the Auto Crop feature (see the section on cropping images.)
Note: Steps 1 and 2 are optional. They're only necessary when setting up TWAIN devices or when
changing to other TWAIN devices.

Capturing Images Directly from the Screen

PhotoStudio can capture graphics, interface elements, icons, etc., directly from the computer screen which
is especially helpful for capturing software screens for product descriptions, illustrations, or presentations.
To capture a screen image:
1. Arrange the screen elements the way that they will appear once captured.
2. Launch PhotoStudio, click File on the Main Menu, then choose Capture from the drop-down menu.
3. In the Capture dialog box, choose one of the following options:
• Window - captures an entire window including its title bar.
• Client Area - captures the content of the window without the frame.
• Desktop - captures the entire desktop.
4. To capture a window in PhotoStudio, deselect Hide PhotoStudio Window.
