    How to save WIA acquired image(s) to a TIFF file?
    In This Topic
    Image, which is acquired from WIA device, can be saved to a new TIFF file or added to an existing TIFF file.

    Here is an example that demonstrates how to acquire images from WIA device and save images to a multipage TIFF file:
    /// <summary>
    /// Acquires images from WIA device and saves images to a TIFF file.
    /// </summary>
    public void AcquireImagesFromWiaDeviceAndSaveImagesToTiffFile()
    {
        // create WIA device manager
        using (Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceManager deviceManager = new Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDeviceManager())
        {
            // open WIA device manager
            deviceManager.Open();
    
            // get count of WIA devices
            int deviceCount = deviceManager.Devices.Count;
            if (deviceCount == 0)
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine("Devices are not found.");
                return;
            }
    
            // select the first WIA device
            Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaDevice device = deviceManager.Devices[0];
    
            // open WIA device
            device.Open();
    
            Vintasoft.WiaImageScanning.WiaAcquiredImage acquiredImage = null;
