Macintosh
If you would like to have TWAIN support on Mac OS, then Adobe strongly recommends
that you access your device through Rosetta (PPC) OS. Otherwise, you scan your image,
and then open it in Photoshop Elements.
To install the legacy TWAIN plug-in for Mac OS, copy the ImportModules folder from:
//Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements <version number>/Support
Files/Optional Plug-Ins
into
//Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements <version number>/Support
Files/Plug-Ins
*The version Number is 11 or 12 depending on the Photoshop version you have installed.
Windows
Adobe strongly suggests that you use WIA support for your device, if available. If your
device does not support WIA drivers, then try updating your TWAIN driver. Contact the
manufacturer of your device for further TWAIN support.
To install the legacy TWAIN plug-in, do the following:
For Windows (32 bit), copy the Import-Export folder from:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements <version number\Optional
Plug-Ins\
into
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements <version number>\Plug-Ins\
For Windows (64 bit), copy the Import-Export folder from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements <version number>\Optional
