I would also advise to get a copy of "The inmates are running the
asylum" and reading the chapter about the scanning tool Alan Cooper

simple-scan should save all the scan to the disk, in full, so that
different portions can be exported to different apps, similar to the way
Cheese keeps all the pictures that were taken.
