PMscan 3.X

Gui aroud the program pixma_scan which is a gnu public program

  convert is a part of ImageMagic

Pixma_scan  - http://pixma.schewe.com/

pixma_scan is a commandline program, does a good job,
but because of its origin, not easy to let it do what you want
it to do.
There comes this gui in place.

Its fairly easy and straight forward.

Most actions will be shown in the textarea when executed.

After starting the PMscan,  run a preview.

Then select an area in the preview with the mouse as usual.
Selection with right-mousebutton will stick to the corners
 when close enough ( less then 50 pix will do ).
Slection with mouse can be done in any direction.
No slection means full scan.

After the scanner buffer is emptied, a resized picture in a new
 window is shown.

That picture can be saved by using the "Save File" or "Save As" 
 option in the File menu.

The same "Save File" will pop up when a scanned picture is in the buffer
 but not saved and the user pressed the File menu "Quit" option.

The option menu will make it possible to preselect a dir and a filename
 which will be extended with a serial number and an extention 
When jpg is chosen the quality will be used when saving the file.

The serial number will automaticly increase and saved for the next time.

( The serial number cannot be reset, unless edited in .MPscan/.Serial )
( Files in .MPscan should only be edited with great care. )

The saved options will obviously be read in when the program starts.

Have fun.
