Scanner Basics

Scanning With Photoshop
You can import your scanned image into Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements,
or another TWAIN-compliant application. You can use the tools in these
applications to modify the image before you save or print it.
1
Raise the scanner lid and place your photo face down on the glass.
Then close the cover.
2
Start Adobe Photoshop Elements.
In Windows, click Start > Programs or All Programs > Adobe
Photoshop Elements.
On a Macintosh, open the Adobe Photoshop Elements folder (in your
Applications folder) and double-click the Photoshop Elements icon.
3
Select File > Import > EPSON Perfection 4990.
4
EPSON Scan starts, pre-scans, and recognizes the type of image you
placed on the scanner, then scans your photo and opens it in Photoshop
Elements.
Note: If you don't like the preview, you can use EPSON Scan to fine-tune
the image before scanning. See your Quick Guide or on-screen
Perfection 4990 Reference Guide for details.
5
Close EPSON Scan. Then use Photoshop Elements to edit, enhance, save,
and print your file.
Note: To scan with the SilverFast plug-in, select SilverFast (Epson-SE) in step 3
instead of EPSON Perfection 4990. See the SilverFast documentation for
instructions on using the plug-in.
