They are saying that their scanner driver for OS X comes in the form of a Photoshop Plug-In. Only apps that can use Photoshop Plug-Ins (like Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and possibly GraphicConverter) can use the driver natively in OS X. IOW, there is no stand-alone "scanning program" for the Canon Scanners that is native to OS X. Does anybody know if these scanners will work WITHOUT the plug-in using Image Capture instead? _Chas_ "Of course the people don't want war ... But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger. It works the same way in any country." - Hermann Goerring, founder of the Gestapo and Hitler's "No. 2" -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
