One of the features I loved about the old version of Photoshop was being able to scan directly into Photoshop with my Canon CanoScan 8400F. I kept Photoshop CS around just so I could scan (and then I'd have to open up CS4 to do processing), but I discovered an easier solution.
On the Photoshop CS4 installation DVD, copy TWAIN.plugin from Goodies/Optional Plugins/Import-Export to /Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug-ins/Import-Export.
This workaround is unsupported by Adobe, but it's better than scanning through Preview (which still works with TWAIN scanners). You can also download the optional plugin from Adobe's website.
