A patch is now available to download from http://www.cjemicros.co.uk/photodesk which should overcome the crashes many users have reported when trying to scan directly from Photodesk. Simply download the zipfile and copy the enclosed skeleton !Photodesk over your existing installed copy. Note that if you experience the more severe problem of Photodesk crashing your computer on loading when the PDTwain module is enabled, then unfortunately this patch does not fix that problem. Apologies that this bug was not found and fixed sooner, but thanks to Detlef for managing to finally track it down and provide a fix. I have also made available from the same page a PDF file which demonstrates some of the new features now included in Photodesk 3.10.
