8-12 Accessing Images from a PC
Acquiring Images with the Driver for
TWAIN-compliant PC Applications
You are now ready to acquire an image. Acquiring an image copies its
image data from the PCMCIA card into your application, where the
acquired image opens into a window.
1. Click on the ACQUIRE button; a progress box appears. (You can cancel
acquiring by pressing the ESC key.)
NOTES: You can also double-click on the thumbnail image (not the preview
image) as an alternate to the two-step process of selecting one image and
then clicking the ACQUIRE button. Images can be acquired while in preview or
thumbnail mode.
If it is supported by your TWAIN application, you can select more than one
image before clicking ACQUIRE; each image will open into a separate window.
To select multiple images shift-click (hold the Shift key down while clicking
on images one after another), or click ALL IMAGES.
2. Wait as the driver image window closes and the image appears in a
window in your application.
3. (Optional) Edit the acquired image using features of your application.
If you know that you will be using only a cropped portion of the
image, you may want to complete that cropping now while in your
application. This will result in a smaller file when saved to disk.
4. (Optional) Save the image to the PC hard disk. You cannot save the
image to the PCMCIA card while it is in the DCS 465 Camera Back.
5. (Optional) Repeat the steps of the last several sections and acquire
and save additional images.
