Question

i want to scan a picture on to the computer. I have no idea how. I ahve a dell all in one photo printer

Answer 1

If it came with an installation disk then they usually have a default software that will allow you to scan it in. If you have photoshop then there is an option to import and you should be able to choose your dell scanner

Answer 2

If you have your scanner set up correctly, then turn it on, run the software that came with it and go to the section that allows you to do the scanning.  It will do a quick preview first to let you see what it looks like, if you are happy with it then click on the SCAN button.  The software that comes with scanners can be very basic so if you want to edit photos then download Paint.NET (basic) or GIMP 2.4.6 (advanced).  Both are freeware.
