Question
Hello:  Just found this site and it's a great service.  Hope you can help, any advice is appreciated.  I am new to Photoshop but I would like  to scan in my family photos and edit them.  I came across an older scanner that has a photo feeder on top that can scan a stack of 15-20 pictures in a row.  It doesn't have the scanning software but It does have the twain driver.  My question is if I use Photoshop and the Scanner's Twain driver to import the images from the scanner, will photoshop be able to keep up with the scanner?  In other words if I put a stack of ten photos in and tell photoshop to import, will all ten photos from the scanner end up in photoshop or do I have to import ten times?  If so I would be better off with a new flat bed scanner. Basically I want to bring them all in as fast as possible and save them as Tiffs and or Jpegs and edit.  I just don't know if Photoshop can handle multiple scans.  Thanks, Bruce  

Answer
Nice question,

Actually i also used twain import from photoshop long time back, and I don't remmeber exactly about the thing you are asking, as far as I remmeber Photoshop has the capablity to scan multiple images at one time, you may have to press shift key while selecting the images one after another.

You can try with both options, and let me kno the update too ;)


Feel free to ask anything further
