I am looking for a generic TWAIN driver for OS X, one that would not need additional hardware. I just want to use it for testing TWAIN.

All I need is to install a driver that will enable me to open its window from an TWAIN enabled application. – Sorin Sbarnea Jun 3 '11 at 12:35

In OS X TWAIN is not "The Scanner Standard" as in windows. For the OS X several scanner manufacturers make TWAIN drivers and some others making plugins into various applications and not TWAIN, so IMHO you can not rely (only) on TWAIN.

For the testing/developent maybe help you TWAIN/SANE - check this link: http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/ - access scanners via SANE - and enable the TWAIN datasource.

hm... as i read the above - I think - need improve my english a bit. :( Anyway check the link.

I solved my problem by installing the demo version of VueScan. If someone else find a free tool that installs a driver that is visible in Photoshop, I will accept his answer :)
