Acquiring and Loading Pictures

"Problem with scanner or camera software."

This message will appear when trying to use your scanner or digital camera if the device has not been installed correctly. Close mySewnet™ Digitizing, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the WIA-compliant device, then reopen mySewnet™ Digitizing and try again.

"Scanner or camera is in use by another application."

This message will appear when trying to use your scanner or digital camera if another graphics program is already open that uses the WIA-compliant device. Close mySewnet™ Digitizing and the other graphics program, then reopen mySewnet™ Digitizing and try again.

"Your scanner or camera is no longer available for use. Close this program, plug in and switch on your scanner or camera, and run this program again."

This message will appear if the connection to your scanner or digital camera has a problem. Close mySewnet™ Digitizing, check the connections to your scanner or digital camera, then reopen mySewnet™ Digitizing and try again.

"Failure to acquire picture due to unknown causes."

This message will appear in certain circumstances when trying to use your scanner or digital camera, for example if the cable is disconnected during the scan or download. Close mySewnet™ Digitizing, check the connections to your scanner or digital camera, then reopen mySewnet™ Digitizing and try again.

"Could not load picture file."

This message could appear if the desired picture is not where the module expects it to be, for example if it was loaded from a USB stick, then closed and the USB stick removed. It could also appear if the file you are attempting to load is corrupt. For example, it might have an extension such as .bmp or .jpg, yet not be a proper picture file.

"Part of this file is a raster image and cannot be loaded."

This message could appear when loading certain types of Corel® Draw files, that include raster images. If not enough of the picture is visible, try saving in another format, and reload.

"This file version cannot be opened. Save as CDR version 7 - 13, then try again."

This message could appear when loading certain types of Corel® Draw files. Try saving from Corel® Draw in a different version file, then reload.
