Does anyone know how to stop Photoshop (Creative Cloud 2014) from saving scanned images acquired by WIA as bitmaps in some folder? I want them to just be opened in Photoshop as new untitled documents and not saved anywhere. This scanner's WIA with CS5.5 under 32-bit Win XP used to work that way, but 64-bit Photoshop under 64-bit Win 7 seems to want to act differently. (Those factors are not something I have control over; this is my work computer.) The scanner itself is the same and the software seems to act the almost the same as it used to under paint.NET, actually (except I have to pick the device each time even though I only have one, but that's a single keypress) but Photoshop now insists on prefacing the normal scanning interface dialog with another box asking me where I want to save the image, giving me the option to also open it in Photoshop, but not to only do that.

No matter what I do I can't seem to get the scanner to appear under the File > Import menu with its own name like it used to, only the general File > Import > WIA Support option (which was always there too, but which I never used). I feel like that might be related, but I've installed all the versions of the driver I can find (HP offers three, a "basic feature" driver, a "TWAIN driver and utilities" that might be useless because I read that you can't use TWAIN in 64-bit Photoshop, and a rather large full software suite I don't really need) and none seem to have the desired effect.

blah?
