The
inPhoto Oly (Olympus camera control software,
discontinued from June, 2006) and
inPhoto Capture (Canon and Olympus camera control software) can work as TWAIN drivers and are compatible with all major ID card software packages, e.g. CardFive, EPISuite, ID Works, Asure ID.
The inPhoto camera control driver supports all TWAIN compatible ID card management software products and can be employed to shoot images with the Olympus or Canon digital cameras from within the ID card software.
