an image after a scanning is completed. Other scanning software

Photoshop.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>Scanner drivers are supported by the scanner manufacturer,

<p>You can also import scanned images directly
from any scanner that has a Photoshop-compatible plug‑in module.
To import the scan using a plug‑in module, choose the scanner name
from the File&#160;&gt; Import submenu. See your scanner documentation
for instructions on installing the scanner plug‑in. Or, use the
scanner manufacturer’s software to scan your images, and save the
images as TIFF, PICT, or BMP files. Then open the files in Photoshop.</p>
