Acquiring an image from a digital camera Similar to scanning, Pagis Pro can also accept images from digital cameras. That is, they can be connected to a PC, and they have a TWAIN source driver. By setting up Pagis Pro to use a camera's TWAIN source driver, Pagis Pro can download images directly from the camera's internal memory source. The following procedure describes how to use Pagis Pro to download an image through a digital camera's TWAIN source driver. Note Most digital cameras provide software that enables you to save stored photographs directly on your computer in JPEG format. If you have trouble using your digital camera's TWAIN interface with Pagis Pro, here is an alternative method. Once a photograph is on your PC as a JPEG file, you can use the Pagis Editor to view, edit, or convert it to XIF. 4­54 Pagis Pro User's Guide Contents Index 1.
