Acquiring images from scanners and digital cameras
You can load photos from digital cameras and scan images in CorelDRAW.
CorelDRAW supports scanners that use Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition (WIA), which provides a standard interface for loading images. If your scanner or digital camera does not support WIA, you can use the scanner’s or digital camera’s TWAIN driver for loading images. The software interfaces and options vary. For information about using your scanner’s or digital camera’s software, see the manufacturer’s documentation.
