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 documentation for instructions on installing the scanner plug-in. For general plug-in information, see Using plug-in modules.

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.)

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 or ImageReady.
