The TWAIN interface, as an alternative to the stand-aloneSPOT software, allows Windows users to use other imaging programs (e.g., Photoshop or Image Pro) toview, and edit images that were captured using the SPOT camera and software. For example, using theTWAIN interface and the SPOT camera, you can capture an image from within Photoshop and thentransfer the image into PhotoShop to be edited and saved. The following chapter details the use of theSPOT TWAIN interface via Adobe Photoshop 7.0.Note: Adobe Photoshop was selected as the example to illustrate SPOT’s TWAIN features becauseit is one of the most commonly used “TWAIN capable” image editing programs.This chapter is divided into two sections.• Preparing to Take a Picture• Taking a PictureUser Guide to the SPOT Insight Camera 267
