I have a Microtek scanner and Scanwiz twain32 software and adobe PS 5.01. For some reason(this just started) when I scan an image, that portion of the scan that does not contain the image is black. Which when printing uses up a lot of ink unless I crop first. How do I get the &quot;background&quot; outside the image to be white or transparent? Also how can I make the Scanwiz default &nbsp;to 256 shades of gray and not millions of colors?

RE:Scanner background

Adobe Creative Suite (CS) is a software suite of graphic design, video editing, and web development applications developed by Adobe Systems. Each edition consists several Adobe applications, including Photoshop, Acrobat, InDesign, Premiere Pro or After Effects. Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator are the industry standard applications for many graphic design positions. CS6 is the last version of the Creative Suite; future versions of their creative software would only be available via their Adobe Creative Cloud subscription service.
