Importing scanner images
In recent years, the increasingly more sophisticated image management software
supplied with scanners means that DrawPlus leaves the photo management
aspect of importing scanned images to the manufacturer's software (installed
with the device on your computer). However, what DrawPlus will offer is the
ability to choose between different TWAIN sources, launch the manufacturer's
software automatically and subsequently place any chosen images onto the
DrawPlus page.
To set up your digital device for image acquisition:
• Follow the instructions supplied with the device.
To import pictures from a TWAIN device (i.e., scanner):
1. If you have multiple TWAIN-compatible devices, choose the device
from which your image will be acquired—
Picture>TWAIN>Select Source... from the Insert menu lets you
select your device from a menu.
2. Choose Picture>TWAIN>Acquire from the Insert menu to open the
device’s image management dialog. Follow the device manufacturer’s
instructions, and select the scanned image for import.
3. In DrawPlus, the Picture Size cursor is displayed which allows
image to be placed at default size (by single-click) or sized (by
dragging across the page).
You can also use the above procedure for importing photos from
cameras that support TWAIN. More typically, modern cameras allow
photo import (see p. 163) directly from their own memory cards,
appearing as a removable disk in Windows.
