Dan,  You are correct, and it is in this issue that Canon is lacking.  They 
may get better, but getting the Canon S800 to play properly with Photoshop is 
a total mystery and relatively easy with the Epson.  Another example, there 
are NO matte paper's supported in the Canon list.  As I suggested earlier, 
the Canon SW and drivers are a bad joke.

Too bad.  I'm very happy with the CanoScan FS2710 and the S100 digital camera.
