PhD: How to Acquire Photos from a Digital Camera

SUMMARY

Microsoft PhotoDraw can acquire photos from any digital camera that supports TWAIN as long as the TWAIN drivers for that camera have been installed. Certain digital cameras do not support TWAIN and others do not install their TWAIN drivers automatically when you install the camera software.

To acquire photos from a digital camera, follow these steps:

1. On the File menu, click Digital Camera.
2. If you have TWAIN drivers for your camera installed, PhotoDraw detects the camera and prompts you to identify it. Click OK.
   
   If PhotoDraw does not detect your camera, consult your camera user's guide or call the manufacturer and ask for help installing the TWAIN drivers for the camera.
3. From the digital camera work pane, confirm the Source identifies your camera and click Download.
   
   This takes you into the interface for the camera driver where you can select and download your photos.
