3.Capture Image From TWAIN Data Source:
=======================================

PhotoStacker is a TWAIN-compliant host application. It can capture image
from any TWAIN-compliant Data Source. There are two commands involved:
Acquire command and Select Source command that are in the File menu.

If there is more than one Data Source available in your system, choose
"Select Source" command to select a specific Data Source. Choose "Acquire"
command to bring up the selected Data Source.

Before using a TWAIN Data Source, you must first install it.
Please refer to your TWAIN Data Source (e.g. Artec TWAIN Source)
User's Guide to install it.


4. Memory Requirement:
======================

PhotoStacker will use disk drives as virtual memory if there is not enough
DRAM memory. But it will slow down the performance of PhotoStacker. We
recommend that you expand your DRAM memory twice as large as the size
of image that is to be compressed. For example: if you want to compress
a 2 MBytes image with PhotoStacker, you should have at least 4 MBytes
DRAM memory to get high performance.
