I bought a Canon Lide 700 quite a while ago and never used it much. Now I need ton scan a LOT of stuff and it's been a little funky. I DL'd latest drivers from Canon, but the manual they supplied is for an earlier OS and is useless.

So I'm scanning using Image Capture. Realized after scanning a few pics that I can't click & drag them from IC to iPhoto. I selected "scan to iPhoto" from drop down menu, which works but each new scan erases the previous from the "last import" file, so I need to click & drag every time, which is impractical with 1000+ scans needed in next few days.

Tried scan to pictures too, but that didn't help either.

Is there a workaround or app that'll solve this? Was going to buy Elements soon anyway, would that allow me to direct the scans to a particular iPhoto folder?

----------

Okay, just saw that I CAN save as many scans as I want into documents from the drop down menu (but not into a selected album in iPhoto - why?) so that helps, but could still use feedback on the Elements question if anyone has any - thanks!
