how do i scan a photo into iphoto

See if there is a driver for your version OS X

iPhoto

http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto

- there really are forums for various iLife etc.

I don't think you can scan directly into iPhoto. I just did a search and found this on iPhoto FAQ:

Question 10: Does iPhoto work with flatbed scanners or film scanners?

Answer: Yes. To use iPhoto with your flatbed or film scanner, simply scan your negative, slide, or print with the scanner and save the resulting files to a folder on your Mac. You can import the images directly into iPhoto with the Import command. You can also drag the folder of images directly onto the iPhoto interface and add photos that way.

I also found this thread on these forums, which does verify what I said above ... hope it helps.

Hello Jack,

I my self am using a Brother DCP-135C all-in-one scanner / printer.

An indeed there seems no way to import directly into iPhoto from a flatbed scanner.

Though I can scan photographs via Preferences, Print&Fax and there I can Scan via the Scan button/tab and click on 'Open Scanner' button. Then on the right pannel I can choose the iPhoto application via the 'Scan To:' combo box.

Scanned photos are then to be found in iPhoto's 'Last Import'.

I did not test this with other types and or brands of scanners but it looks like it should work for all.
