CTwain vs. EZTwain

CTwain is best suited for applications where the user initiates image acquisition, and the application wants to have relatively little responsibility for the details. The classic examples of this kind of application are image editors and graphic design programs such as: Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft FrontPage, CorelDraw, etc. CTwain is organized to support a user-driven scanning model, with the application controlling a few basic scanning parameters such as resolution and color depth.

CTwain is probably not suitable for applications where precise sequential control of scanning is required, where the application chooses when and how scanning will take place, how many images will be scanned, etc.  We recommend EZTwain Pro for such applications.

EZTwain Pro offers more built-in file formats, far more comprehensive capability-negotiation features, region-of-interest setting, ADF control, and a variety of other features for applications that want to use more of the TWAIN API.
