A user interface method for launching an optimized final scan of a selected region of interest selected from a preview scan of a document. A user may drag the selected region of interest, presented in a preview scan of a document in a scanner window, and drop it on a software application, the desktop, or a writeable folder, which launches an optimized final scan of the selected region of interest. The image data resulting from the optimized final scan automatically resides in the software application, the desktop, or the writeable folder. In selecting a region of interest from the preview scan, scanner software parameters are updated with information about the region of interest which optimize the final scan. The image data from the optimized final scan is then formatted in the format requested and delivered to the software application, the desktop, or the writeable folder.
