Acquiring images from scanners and digital cameras

You can load photos from digital cameras and scan images in CorelDRAW.

The 32-bit version of CorelDRAW supports scanners 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 TWAIN driver of your scanner or digital camera for loading images. TWAIN is supported by both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CorelDRAW. The software interfaces and options vary. For information about using the software associated with your scanner or digital camera, see the manufacturer’s documentation.
