5 Plug the scanner's power cord into an electrical outlet. 6 Make sure the cover is closed, then press the P power button on the front of the scanner to turn it on. The scanner turns on and the indicator light flashes green. It stops flashing and turns green when the scanner is ready. 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.
