simple-scan is fairly new, I don't think that we have a lot of
screenshots for the docs yet. I subscribed ubuntu-doc team to sign off.

However, I don't quite understand the rationale: Is the idea that you
should use the buttons from left to right in a normal process? wouldn't
you need to select the mode (text/photo) even before you click "scan"?
Also, why did the proposed layout drop the save button?

Bug description:
The current toolbar, whilst simple, could better guide new users through the process of scanning a document. In particular adding a save button (users generally don't look in menus) and a label for the crop button would make it just that little bit more obvious (this is particularly important as in my experience, workstations used for scanning are shared so this might well be many's first experience of Ubuntu). This change is inline with the gnome hig section on toolbars and is consistent with the menu.

I have made all necessary changes in the attached branch and added several screenshots. Note that I also had to change the order slightly for the icons to fit in.
