TWAIN Error when working with a scanner... error message "Open DSM - Could not
find the TWAIN Source Manager. Please reinstall software."
Most likely, you have an older scanner device that was bought before 1996. The new 32 bit twain driver is not
installed. ImageShow works with 32bit TWAIN v1.6 interface. However, this does not mean that ImageShow can not
work with older scanners. One of the solutions is to contact the scanner manufacturer and ask for their newest
scanner driver for your Windows 95 or NT (usually free) and reinstall the driver software.
Note, if you only find twain.dll in your Windows or Winnt directory, you can be sure that you only have old
16 bit twain interface on your computer and ImageShow should NOT work with your scanner at this time. With 32 bit
twain driver and interface installed, you should have twain.dll, twain_32.dll, TWUNK_16.EXE, TWUNK_32.EXE appear
in the Windows or Winnt directory, plus the scanner's driver data source directory.
You can also download the driver files from the web by yourself! To find the scanner driver file yourself,
select from the manufacturer list and
look for 32 bit driver for Windows 95 or NT and your scanner model. The driver package usually contains the latest
32 bit twain interface files (mentioned above).
If you are sure the scanner is for Window 95 or NT, but did not find twain_32.dll or twunk_xx.dll in your
Windows or Winnt directory, you need to download the 32 bit twain interface files
Click here to get 32 bit TWAIN
interface files for Windows 95.
Click here to get 32 bit TWAIN
interface files for Windows NT. Also get msvcrt20.dll
for NT and copy it into your WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory if you do NOT have already.
Remember to backup the 16 bit twain.dll file that already installed on your PC before install the new TWAIN interface
files!
If you need, get pkzip2.04g
(which contains pkunzip.exe) from PKWARE to unpack
the .zip files.

Painting with pen/brush, sometimes it paints different color than I selected...
When painting on a paletted image (256 colors or less), the pen/brush color is matched to the closest color
in the color palette of the image. This causes the color change. To make sure it paints with the color that you
set, promote the paletted image to true color image before you paint or apply any color related operation.
