Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0

Get photos from scanners

  1. Make sure that your scanner is connected and switched on.
  2. In the Organizer, select File >  Get Photos And Videos >  From Scanner from the pop‑up menu.
    Note: You can also get photos from a scanner from within Full Edit.
  3. If the Get Photos From Scanner dialog box appears, choose the name of the scanner from the Scanner menu.
    Note: If you get a None Detected message in the Scanner menu, make sure that the scanner is on and properly connected to your computer.
  4. Click Browse to select a location for saving the photos.
  5. 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.

    Drag the Quality slider to increase or decrease the file size and quality

  6. Click OK. If you’re using a scanner with a TWAIN driver, Photoshop Elements 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.
    Note: In Windows XP, Photoshop Elements launches the Windows XP scanning interface if you’re using a WIA (Windows Imaging Architecture) scanner. You can find instructions in Windows XP 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. Photoshop Elements assigns the import date to the photos.
