Scanner Drivers

If your scanner has drivers that allows it to use TWAIN, you can scan images directly into Picture It!, Picture It! Photo, or Picture It! Publishing.

If you have more than one scanner driver installed, pick the one you want to use. The Scan Picture command contains the following two scanning options:

• Custom Scan
• Smart Task Scan

Smart Task Scan automatically locates your picture, scans it at the correct resolution, and adjusts levels for you. Smart Task Scan can also try to correct the brightness and contrast of your picture. Although you cannot change the Smart Task Scan settings, it's the easiest way to scan pictures if you have a flatbed scanner. If Smart Task Scan does not work correctly or does not produce the result that you want, use Custom Scan.

Custom Scan is for sheet-fed scanners or if you want to modify the image that you are scanning.

Some of the modifications that you can make are presented in the following list:

• Brightness
• Contrast
• Manual cropping
• Rotating

Note You can use online Help to contact your scanner manufacturer.

Click Help, click Scanner and Digital Camera Help, and then click Finding scanner and digital camera manufacturers on the WWW.

Note Some scanners and scanner drivers do not support the Smart Task Scan feature that is available in the programs listed at the beginning of this article.

After you install the latest scanner driver and confirm with the scanner manufacturer that your scanner supports the Smart Task Scan feature, try to scan a document or image using the Enhanced mode of the Smart Task Scan feature.

Note The Enhanced mode of the Smart Task Scan feature only works with flatbed scanners. If you use a flatbed scanner, the programs listed at the beginning of this article use the Enhanced mode by default.
