6. Click OK. If you’re using a scanner with a TWAIN driver, Elements Organizer launches the driver that came with your scanner. Follow the
instructions that came with the driver software to scan your photo. Typically, you can also select an area to scan or correct any color issues
that you may see.
In Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, Elements Organizer launches the Windows XP scanning interface if you’re using a
WIA (Windows Imaging Architecture) scanner. You can find instructions in Windows online Help. In scanners that support TWAIN, a vendor-
specific user interface is launched.
After the photo is scanned, a preview of the scan is displayed in the Getting Photos dialog box. Elements Organizer assigns the import date
to the photos.
Set scanner preferences
1. In Elements Organizer, choose Edit > Preferences > Scanner.
2. Choose the name of your scanner from the Scanner drop-down list in the Import area.
Each time you connect to a different scanner, you need to select the device from the list. The connected scanner is indicated to help
you identify it.
3. Choose a file format from the Save As menu. JPEG, the default format, is usually the best choice. If you choose JPEG, drag the Quality
slider to the setting you want. The higher the quality, the larger the file size.
4. Select a default location to store your scanned photos, and then click OK.
At any point before clicking OK, you can click Restore Default Settings.
Scan photos using a TWAIN driver
TWAIN is a software driver used for acquiring images by certain scanners, digital cameras, and frame grabbers. For your TWAIN device to work
with Elements Organizer 11, the manufacturer must provide a source manager and TWAIN data source.
Before using the scanner to bring images into Elements Organizer, install the TWAIN device and its software, and then restart your computer.
(Refer to documentation from your device manufacturer for installation information.)
In Elements Organizer, click Import > From Scanner or select File > Get Photos and Videos > From Scanner.
After the image is scanned, it appears in Elements Organizer.
Note: After pressing the scanning button for the first time on some scanners, such as the Canon MP960, the scanning progress bar will open
behind Photoshop Elements. You can reduce the Photoshop Elements window to bring the progress bar forward.
