Using the Flatbed Scanner

Getting Started

Scanning is basically the same process no matter what type of scanner you are using. Adobe Photoshop is just one of the programs that allows for scanning, and that is the program we are using the in step-by-step process below. Many scanners also come with their own scanning software, and this can be used as well. For the examples listed below, we will describe one of the scanners that is in the TLC computer lab, the Epson Perfection 1640SU.

Place your image facedown on the scanner. Double click on the 'Adobe PhotoShop' on your desktop, or select it in your Start menu.

In Photoshop click File, point the cursor to Import, then click on Select EPSON TWAIN

The scanner pre-scans your image. If you want to scan in full auto mode allow the pre-scan to continue. If you want to scan in manual mode click on cancel.
