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 Elements.

You must install the TWAIN device and its software, and restart your computer, before you can use it to import images into Photoshop Elements. See the documentation provided by your device manufacturer for installation information.

To import an image using the TWAIN interface:

Do one of the following:
  • Choose File > Import, and choose the device you want to use from the submenu.
  • Click Acquire on the Quick Start screen that appears when you start Photoshop Elements.
