To throw my two cents in: 
Second Glance, who currently sells ScanTastic, will be writing scanner & image  
manipulation filters for Appsoft Image. Scantastic is a scanning/image  
manipulation software package that currently supports the HP ScanJet IIc, the  
EpsonES300-c (LaCie), the Microtek600Z, the NikonLS3510 slide scanner, and soon  
the Apple One and the EpsonGT8000 (1600 dpi).

ScanTastic, though, is available NOW and fully supports services. (So you can  
use it when Image comes out anyhow!) ScanTastic is sold through NeXTConnection,  
and directly.
