Hi. Yes, I repaited permissions afterwards. However, I think I've fixed things in that I created a new account and logged in with this. Scanning worked fine as did permissions re. the images, meaning I could edit and delete as I wished. Logged back in with my usual account and everything worked fine now as well. I have now deleted the extra account I created and everything is still fine.
Beats me how these things work but it's all good. I can now merrily scan the hundreds of family photos I have and add them to my family tree c/o Mac Family Tree. Thanks and a Happy New Year to you.

This seems to imply that you may have repaired Permissions ..... AFTER .... the latest software was installed . If so , that is the way to go. It is not unusual for Installers to alter the Permissions during the installation process , so you do need to Repair them after an Installation. You could try setting up a new User and try scanning from the new user to see if that bypasses your problems.
