From there you can do anything you want with it. For your use this might be the right thing because you'll then be able to preview all your images and only mess around with the ones you want to make presentable. If you could modify, say, the intensity of the LEDs in the scanner for every frame scanned then this wouldn't work - but that's not how it works. So you might really find that ViewScan works. And the interface may make more sense to you than it does to me (none). The product is supported, updated frequently, and bug reports seem to be acted upon promptly.
