I had scanned a page and set the "kind" to text using a Brother HL-2280DW scanner/printer. It worked fine. However, now when I try to scan again, say a photo, it won't let me change from text to another format (none of the options are changeable, just light grey), the overview scan has dark lines in it, and where it shows the device, the rotation wheel just rotates and rotates and...Also, I downloaded the program again to replace the previous app and nothing changed with Image Capture.Help!!!

Are you calling Image Capture direct or via GC? What happens if you try the other route?If you launch Activity Monitor and look for Image Capture Extension, is it running?What happens if you do a Restart, or log out of your Mac and log in again (quicker and equally effective in most cases)?Scanning has caused me much pain and grief…John.
