Subject: Re: VueScan to Photoshop

This is from the help file for VueScan-


Prefs tab
This tab lets you set miscellaneous options that control the behavior of
VueScan.

External viewer
If this option is set, cropped and processed images will be displayed using
the viewer specified in the "Viewer" option.

Viewer
If the "External viewer" option is enabled, the specified program will be
started with each cropped image upon completion of a scan.
On Windows, if the viewer name is "default", the file association for this
type of file will be used. You can also put command-line options after the
name of the viewer (e.g. "vuepro32 /fillwindow" to display images without a
window frame with VuePrint). If the name of the viewer has "%1" after it
(e.g. vuepro32 "%1"), the file name will be substituted at that point. If
you use the %1 argument on the command line, be sure to put double-quotes
around it, or file names that have embedded spaces won't work.

On Linux, the viewer name can have command-line options after it, and the
file name will be appended to the end of the command-line before it's run.

On Mac OS 8/9/X, if the viewer name is "default", the files will start in
the same application that would start if you double-click on the files. Note
that the file type and file creator for the .tif, .jpg, and .bmp files are
determined by the settings in the "File Exchange" control panel on Mac OS
8/9.


When PhotoShop is installed it sets the .jpg file association to itself.
Sometimes other programs change this. But if PS is associated with .jpg then
VueScan will send the scanned file to PS. Unchecking External Viewer will
allow you to save the file and then open it with whatever you want. From the
File Tab in VueScan you can select the file output type, .jpg or .tif. If
.tif is associated with any particular program the same will happen, i.e.,
it will send the file to that program-which could also be PS.

This is from Windows98 SE help file-other versions may vary as certainly
will other operating systems. I do remember the procedure was different in
Win95. And it may vary for ME and XP. That's what Help Files are for. Search
for "association" or "file association", don't use the quotes.

To change which program starts when you open a file

In My Computer or Windows Explorer, on the View menu, click Folder Options.
Click the File Types tab.
In the list of file types, click the one you want to change.
Click Edit.
In Actions, click Open.
Click Edit.
In Application used to perform action, enter the program you want to use to
open files that have this extension, and then click OK.
Note
The settings for selected file types are shown in File type details.
