Importing scanned photos


    You can directly import scanned photos from any scanner that has an Adobe Photoshop Elements-compatible plug-in module. See your scanner documentation for instructions on installing the scanner plug-in. For general plug-in information, see Using plug-in modules.

    Tip iconIf your scanner does not have a compatible plug-in, you can import scanned photos using the TWAIN interface. (See Importing photos using a TWAIN device.)

To import the scan using a plug-in module:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Click the Connect to Camera or Scanner button in the Welcome window, then choose the scanner name from the Import pop-up menu in the Select Import Source dialog box.
    • Choose the scanner name from the File > Import submenu.
