Yes, the scan is in black and white to compress better and make OCR easier. There's definitely got to be a case for greyscale scanning (though this could be easily done in post-processing).

Question is:
- Should there be three options?
- Should there be a preferences to scan text in greyscale?

The assumption is you only scan text when you want maximum compression.
The document type defaults to text, I will update that to photo.
