Scan Epson Scans Directly Into Photoshop With "One Touch Scan"
Carnation Software has released a handy shareware AppleScript for owners of Epson One Touch Scanners that automatically brings scans directly into Photoshop. The AppleScript is called One Touch Scan. According to Carnation Software:

If you use an Epson Scanner and Photoshop, you will want "One Touch Scan". This $10 shareware program lets you use the One-Touch button on an Epson scanner to automatically launch Photoshop and scan a document directly into Photoshop.

The program consists of a Photoshop Action and an AppleScript. When you push the One-Touch button on your scanner, the AppleScript tells Photoshop to run and execute the Action which activates the Epson twain software.

What do I Need?
Any Macintosh.
AppleScript. 1.1 or later
Photoshop version 5 or later
Epson scanner with a One-Touch button (Epson 636 for example)

You can download or find more information about this software at the company's web site. One Touch Scan is priced at US$10.
