I'm just sick of it, really. Scan via WIA and you get no option to
save/use any other file format than BMP. So you have to save as
whatever from PS and then delete the BMP.
Is there any way to change this asinine behavior? I mean, BMP? Who
wants BMP? Shouldn't a default always be JPG for anything, other than
PSD these days? I'm sure this is a Windows thing, not Adobe, but
still.... How about some way to scan from a super popular Epson scan/
printer directly without PS CS f'n 5? LOL
PS I'm not really as upset as I make it sound. It's just for
entertainment value. ;-)

yeah, CS5 is kind of goofy for scanning.
You have to go to Adobe and D/L something called
"PSCS5_OptionalPlugins_Win32"(assuming your OS is 32-bit) and extract a
file called "Twain_32.8BA" from the folder OptionalPlugins/Win_32.
Copy/Paste this file into the Program Files/Adobe/Plugins/Import-Export
folder.
Now you are good to go to scan from the Photoshop File menu using your
installed scanner.

English version of PSCS5. I got it and it works. Thanks Gary!
