NOTE: The Teaching and Learning Center recommends the use of PhotoShop for scanning

pictures/graphics/slides (covered in this document), OmniPage Pro for scanning text and

Adobe Acrobat to scan something into pdf (covered in another document).

Using the Flatbed Scanner

Getting Started

Scanning is basically the same process no matter what type of scanner you are using. Adobe

Photoshop is just one of the programs that allows for scanning, and that is the program we

are using the in step-by-step process below. Many scanners also come with their own

scanning software, and this can be used as well. For the examples listed below, we will

describe one of the scanners that is in the TLC computer lab, the Epson Perfection 1640SU.

Place your image facedown on the scanner. Double click on the 'Adobe PhotoShop' on your

desktop, or select it in your Start menu.

In Photoshop click File, point the cursor to Import, then click on Select EPSON TWAIN

5…

The scanner pre-scans your image. If you want to scan in full auto mode allow the pre-scan

to continue. If you want to scan in manual mode click on cancel.

Using the Flatbed Scanner

In auto mode the scanner will chose the

document type and continue to scan your

image.

When the scanner is done scanning you will have a

window open of your image in Photoshop similar to

the one below.

Using the Flatbed Scanner

If you would like to continue in manual

mode after clicking the initial cancel up

above, a window will pop up asking to

either click on Manual mode or Scan for

continuing in Full Auto Mode. Click on

manual mode.

You will get a new

window that looks

similar to this.

From here you can

change the image

type by using the

pull down menu.

When the image

type is correct click

on the preview

button.

DESINATION: (this selects the resolution of the image.)

This does not tell you the actual resolution, it asks you what

type of printer you are going to use and sets the dots per inch

(dpi) for the best resolution for that printer. You can get around

this by using the 300-dpi setting or the 600-dpi setting. For the

Internet and the World Wide Web, use the "Web page" setting,

which is 96 dpi or select 'Screen/Web'. You can also manually set the resolution by clicking

the ‘down button’ to the left of the Resolution number.

SIZE displays the actual file size but this will change according to how much you crop the

image and what type of file format you save your file as. For example,"jpeg" format has built

in compression and can significantly reduce the file size.

SCALING is used if you want to make the

image size bigger or smaller than one to one.

Using the Flatbed Scanner

Normally it scans

at a 1:1 ratio and

displays the size at

the bottom of the

scaling window.

The actual image

appears on the

right hand side of

the window. To

have the program

locate the image

automatically click

There is a dashed

line outline around

the image.

Grab the edges of the

box by clicking on

them and move them

in or out so they fit

around your picture.

If the box disappears,

click your mouse and

drag to create a new

box.

If you make changes

to how you have

your picture placed

on the scanner, click

the Preview

utton.

A new scan will begin.

Using the Flatbed Scanner

When you are ready to make the final scan, click on the Scan button. After the scan is

finished click on the Close button on the window and you will be back in Adobe

PhotoShop.

Your picture is not saved until you click File / Save as.

You can save the picture to disk, or to your NT account.

(Please consult a TLC employee if you have any questions

regarding your file size and applications.) Since there are

several ways in which to save your file, one of the advisors can

suggest the proper format for your specific application. Select

where you would like to save your file under 'Save in:' name

your file under 'File name;' and click save.

Using the Flatbed Scanner

When you have finished scanning and saving your picture, click on the File / Exit

Don't forget! to take your picture out of the scanner, and to sign out on your way out of

the center.

Using the Slide Scanner

(From http://www.epson.com/cgi-

bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=Doc&oid=14567&prodo

id=32723)

Using the Slide Scanner

Align the slide so that the top edge of the slide corresponds with the top edge of the

scanner. You may align up to 4 slides at each corner.

Using the Slide Scanner

Top of Slide

It is also recommended that the emulsion surface of the slide be face down (which means the

shiny surface of the slide should be facing up).

1. Click on File / Import / TWAIN 32 in the PhotoShop, allow the scanner to pre-

scann, making the image appear. If the screen appears like Figure 1, make sure to set

the Document Source to the correct slide type (positive film, negative film, etc.), and

the right side of the screen should look like Figure 2.
