According to the Canon, the following software comes with the scanner:
Software: CanoScan Setup CD-ROM*** including: ScanGear® CS, CanoScan Toolbox, Arcsoft® PhotoStudio, ArcSoft PhotoBase™and ScanSoft® OmniPage® SE OCR
I personally use Photoshop Elements with my Canon scanner and it works great, but that is just a personal preference. I'm sure you can use any third party photo editing software to capture the scanned pictures.
