Acquiring images from scanners and digital cameras
You can scan images and load photos from digital cameras into Corel PHOTO-PAINT.
Corel PHOTO-PAINT supports scanners and digital cameras that use Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition (WIA), which provides a standard interface for loading images.
If your scanner or digital camera does not support WIA, you can use the scanner’s or digital camera’s TWAIN driver for loading images. The software interfaces and options vary. For information about using your scanner’s and digital camera’s software, see the manufacturer’s documentation.
For more detailed information about bringing in raw camera files, see “Bringing raw camera files into Corel PHOTO-PAINT.”
