I assume you are opening VuePrint or Photoshop first and then using the
"Acquire" menu item in the "File" list to start the TWAIN software and scan
the image.  I am not familiar with the HP or Microtek software so I don't
know the answer to your question, but in my use of Corel PhotoPaint and the
Epson flatbed TWAIN it had the option in PhotoPaint to either close the
TWAIN after the scan or leave it open.  You may have such a setting in your
software.

Re the messages on the list, most I think are concerning Vuescan, which does
not use the scanner's TWAIN.  Using Vuescan, you would open Vuescan and make
your scans exporting them into PhotoShop or VuePrint at your option, and
Vuescan would meanwhile remain open until you choose to close it.

As I have said before, I am new to scanning.  I am in a learning mode.

Working with flatbed scanners...HP ScanJet IIC & Microtek SlimScan C6...with
the HP & Microtek bundled software...using both VuePrint Pro_32 and
Photoshop 5.0, when I scan, I have to close out the HP or Microtek software
to work with the image.

Am I overlooking something?  Can I work differently with other scanners?  If
so, which ones?

Can I scan directly into VuePrint Pro_32 or Photoshop 5.0 with different
settings or different scanners?

This seems to be the case from some of the messages that I read on the list,
but I have not figured out how to do this with my scanners.
