Acquiring images from scanners and digital cameras

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

Corel DESIGNER supports scanners that use Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition (WIA), which provides a standard interface for loading images. If your scanner does not support WIA, you can use the TWAIN driver of your scanner for loading images. TWAIN is supported by both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Corel DESIGNER The software interfaces and options vary. For information about using the software associated with your scanner or digital camera, see the manufacturer’s documentation.
