100 CHAPTER 2 Getting Images into Photoshop and ImageReady 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 100.) 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. 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 and ImageReady. You must install the TWAIN device and its software, and restart your computer, before you can use it to import images into Photoshop and ImageReady. See the documentation provided by your device manufacturer for installation information. To import an image using the TWAIN interface (Photoshop): Choose File > Import, and choose the device you want to use from the submenu. To import an image using the TWAIN interface (ImageReady): 1 If you're using the TWAIN device for the first time with ImageReady, choose File > Import > TWAIN Select. Then select the device you want to use. You do not need to repeat this step for subsequent use of the TWAIN module. If more than one TWAIN device is installed in your system and you want to switch devices, use the TWAIN Select command. 2 To import the image, choose File > Import > TWAIN Acquire. For more information about scanning, see "Scanning using the resolution setting (Photoshop)," "Scanning using the file size setting (Photoshop)," "Optimizing the dynamic range of the scan (Photoshop)," and "Eliminating unwanted color casts (Photoshop)" in online Help. Creating new images The New command lets you create a blank image. To create a new image: 1 Do one of the following: • To base the image dimensions and resolution (Photoshop) on the Clipboard contents, choose File > New. If the Clipboard does not contain image data, the image dimensions and resolution are based on the last image you created.
