You can start EPSON Scan in three ways. Depending on your scanning purpose, use the starting method creatively.

When using a TWAIN-compliant application

If you want to edit scanned images further, start EPSON Scan from a TWAIN-compliant application. Scanned images are sent to the application, and you can then edit the scanned images.

Note:
If Adobe Photoshop is installed on your computer before you install EPSON Scan, you can access EPSON Scan using Photoshop. In Photoshop, select Import from the File menu then choose EPSON Scanner Perfection 2400.

This section describes how to start EPSON Scan from Photoshop Elements.

Note:
You can scan images using any TWAIN-compliant application, such as Adobe Photoshop. If there is a scanner or a TWAIN-compliant devise selection menu in the application, select EPSON Perfection 2400 Photo, and then select the menu to import from a TWAIN-compliant device. EPSON Scan starts. Depending on the application, selecting a TWAIN-compliant device menu alone may start EPSON Scan.

Start Adobe Photoshop Elements.

For Windows users:
Click Start, point to All Programs (for Windows XP users) or Programs (for Windows Me, 98, or 2000 users), and then select Adobe, Photoshop Elements. Click Photoshop Elements.
