EXTRA:
On the subject of scanning, check out CamScanner for your phone, iPad, or other device with a camera. It will scan a document and straighten it up and even do some color correction then save it into a folder inside CamScanner on your device (not to your camera roll to mix in with your real photos.) It's a nice app - check it out!
