5. Working with PhotoLine / 5.6 Scanning

### 5.6.4 The Scan Result is Always An Image

the result of scanning is always - depending on the settings in the scanner driver - a black/white, a gray or a color image.

Even if you did scan a vector graphics or text, the result will be an image.

In order to create text files you need OCR software. Many scanner already include a simple OCR software.

If you want to create vector graphics, you have to vectorize the scanned image. PhotoLine is able to convert images to vector graphics with the function Layer/Action/Convert Layer Type.
