[alt-photo] Re: TANGENTIALLY ON TOPIC: HELP W/ CS-5 & SCANNER?

[Jeremy Moore]

Photoshop CS5 does not come with the TWAIN plug-in needed to scan directly
into Photoshop. You can find the Adobe help page to download and install
this plug-in here:

ps: Supposedly, TWAIN stands for "Technology Without an Interesting Name"
:-)
