Closing Nikon scan closes PS as well

I need help on this one - when I finish scanning some negs with Nikon
Scan 4.1 in Photoshop 7 or PS Elements 3, and close NS4.1 after
ejecting film from the scanner and waiting for the software to finish,
PS (both versions) will shut down as well without asking for saving
the scans etc. So I lose the scans.

If I use Nikon Scan by itself, I can save the scans before I close it.
In PS, I have to close Nikon Scan before I can do anything to the
completed scans, including saving them.

Any helpful thoughts? (Yes, I know I can go on using NS as a
standalone - but this problem wasn't there in the past, so I'd like to
solve it).

Dear Ross,

I have the same problem with Nikon Scan 4.0.2 (are you certain that
you have 4.1 ? This version doesn't exist) and the LS-5000.

On my setup (Windows XP-SP2), any application using Twain will close
when closing the Nikon Scan Twain plug-in. Even the Nikon Scan
application itself will show the same behavior! However, with the
Nikon Scan application, so you don't have to close the Twain to save
the scan.

For the moment, Nikon support inform me that they don't know about the
problem...

Taking into account the long tradition of Nikon buggy software and
poor tech support, I'm not very hopfull that the problem will be
solved in the near futur... and that I will have to continue to use
the Nikon Scan application instead of Photoshop.

If you learn of any workaround, please let us know,

Try scanning with vuescan and saving as a tiff, and make Photoshop the
default program to open tiff files.
This way you can scan right through to Photoshop without having to close the
scanner program, you can then start to scan your next pic while working on
the first in Photoshop.

David.
