Import 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.
Photoshop installs the TWAIN plug-in automatically. 64-bit versions of Windows do not support the TWAIN plug-in.
❖
Choose File
> Import, and choose the device you want to use from the submenu.
You must install the TWAIN device and its software and restart your computer before you can use it to import images
into Photoshop. See the documentation provided by your device manufacturer for installation information.
