How to Add a Scanner to CS3
Adobe Photoshop CS3 uses TWAIN and Windows Image Acquisition, or WIA, to obtain image data from a computer scanner. To add a scanner to CS3, you must first install the device to Windows. After the scanner has been installed to the computer, it shows up in the Import menu in Photoshop CS3. You can then use TWAIN or WIA to scan the image into the graphics editor.
