Is There a TWAIN interface for Photoshop CC?  I've looked everywhere on the web and can't even find a mention of it.

Yes, you can use the CS6 Twain plugin,but only for 32 bit Photoshop CC. I tried it out and it does work. I prefer Vuescan mainly because it does not place Photoshop on hold while scanning and it works with 64 bit Photoshop.

Good to hear about VueScan. I used it for a very long time with a SCSI Nikon scanner, and like it back then.

Thanks,

I had known of Vuescan for a good many years, Bill. I had basically owned Epson letter-size USB scanners and my first scanner c. 1998 was a Microtek legal-size (8 x 14) SCSI scanner. (USB shortly after replaced all the different serial, parallel, and scsci port flavors out there.)

The Epson Twain drivers sufficed in the 32-bit world,so it didn't make much sense then to shell out for Vuescan.

Then I got a Brother 11x 17 scanner/printer for around $200 and their Twain driver was limited. That and as my first 64 bit Windows and Mac computers arrived, I found out 64 bit Twain support was dead in the water. I decided to go for the Vuescan Pro license last year.

Odd enough, my scanner communicates with my PCs through a wireless router, no more cables.
