How to Scan into Photoshop 6

The scanning feature in Photoshop 6 is valuable, as it allows you to digitally work with hard copy images. It's important to get the settings and resolution correct so you can work with the image to its full advantage.

Instructions

1. Click on "File," "Import" and "Twain_32" (for Windows users) or "Twain Acquire" (for Mac OS users).

2. Click on "Prescan" and choose a scan mode (i.e. black and white, color, etc.) and resolution (dpi).

3. You can crop the image preview or choose a different scale percentage if you need to.

4. Click "Scan." When it is finished scanning, the image will appear in a new window in Photoshop 6.

5. Save the image before making any changes. Proceed to color correct, straighten or otherwise edit.

Tips & Warnings

• To scan directly into Photoshop, the plug-in or Twain module must be set up in the "Import-Export" folder inside the Adobe Photoshop Plug-Ins folder.

• Be sure to calculate the proper resolution before scanning.
