# About scanning

Photoshop Elements connects to your scanner so that you can get images of your photos, negatives, and slides. You can get images from scanners in several ways:

- Use the scanner driver plug‑in module that came with your scanner. This software is either compatible with Photoshop Elements or uses the TWAIN® interface to scan and open images directly in Photoshop Elements.

- Open the Welcome screen from the Window menu and click the Import From Scanner option.

- In Photoshop Elements, use File > Import and select your scanner.

- Use the stand-alone scanning software that came with your scanner to scan and save your images. You can then bring the images into Photoshop Elements using the File > Open command.

  You can also import scanned images directly from any scanner that has a Photoshop-compatible plug‑in module or that supports the TWAIN interface. To import the scan using a plug‑in module, choose the scanner name from the File > Import submenu. See your scanner documentation for instructions on installing the scanner plug‑in.

  If your scanner does not have Photoshop-compatible scanner driver, import the scan using the TWAIN interface.

  Before you try to scan and open your photos in Photoshop Elements, make sure that you’ve installed all the software that came with your scanner. Carefully read any documentation that came with your scanner to make sure that it’s connected properly to your computer.
