How to Scan Images with Preview

Get more out of the scanning utility that comes with your Mac.

Gone are the days when you needed complicated software to use a scanner with your Mac. Preview is all you need to scan, edit, and save any image or document. It even includes handy features such as the ability to detect multiple items in a single scan. This is ideal if you’re scanning lots of photographs, since you can place several on the scanner at once, rather than having to scan one at a time. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need:

>> Scanner or other multifunction device

>> Preview (included on your Mac)

1. Get Started

If you haven’t connected your scanner to your Mac before, click the Apple menu and run Software Update before you plug the scanner in. Once you’ve checked for any updates, plug the scanner in to your Mac and turn it on. For a list of scanners that will work automatically in OS X Lion and Snow Leopard, go here: http://bit.ly/osxscanners. If the model you’re using isn’t on the list, get in touch with its manufacturer to see if they provide software for the version of OS X you have.

To check that your Mac can talk to the scanner, open System Preferences >  Print & Scan. If all is well, your scanner or multifunction device will appear in the list on the left. Click it, and you’ll see both Print and Scan buttons on the right.

2. Your First Scan
