How do I scan? I had HP Image Zone and used it for scanning text. Now that it is replaced with Photosmart Essential 3.5, how do I scan text?

Unfortunately, HP Photosmart Essential is not used to scan documents. It has been developed to manage, edit, view, share, or print photos. In order to scan your files, I recommend you access the HP Download Center, identify your computer model and then download and install the latest drivers and software available. The package should contain a scanning program that can be used to select HP Photosmart Essential as the scan destination. I recommend you contact HP support team for further information.
I tried to install HP Photosmart Essential 3.5 on my HP Pavilion computer with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit as operating system and it wasn't installed properly. It looks like it is loading and even shows some of my pictures but it's stuck right there and I can't do anything. I need to close it all the time through Task Manager. Is there a patch available to fix it? What can I do?

There is no patch; the software is simply too complex. I have been trying for 9 months to make it work, with a variety of operating systems. Without exaggeration, I have emailed with HP tech support about this problem at least fifty times. Tried every one of their solutions. I have uninstalled (thorough) and reinstalled dozens of times. It just doesn't work. at least not with XP and Vista; A few attempts with Windows7 and it PARTIALLY works. sorry, it's not the answer you wanted but that's been my experience.
I wish to uninstall Photosmart Essentials, but am unable to do this via my Control Panel. Please tell me how to remove it, and will this removal affect my ability to print plain and simple files and photographs?

If you remove the application, then you'll lose the ability to print, enhance or scan photos. Try using Revo Uninstaller to wipe out all the app's traces in the system.
After that, try running AdwCleaner to make sure that there are no leftover rogue registry keys or toolbars in your system.
The fonts and text are embedded into the templates and since the program is using those templates, then there is no way you could edit the font size. According to the official description and guide, you can't edit the templates from the HP software. To find more information about this, simply visit the page where the printing and editing is provided.
I recently purchased a HP Photosmart 8180 and installed the software which included Photosmart Essential 3.5. I have over 8000 photos on a remote hard drive with a USB 2.0 connection. The software runs very slow and frequently quits responding, however, after a while it start again. It freezes any time I try to view a photo or try to edit it. Is there something I need to do to make this program run faster or at all? I have tagged most of the pictures, however, it has taken me a very long time due to the slow operation and constant freezing.
I have a new HP laptop with Vista.

The problem with the application is that your computer is not powerful enough to handle 8000 at once. Because of that the whole operation becomes sluggish. My advice is to try categorizing those photos into 5-6 folders and you will see an increase in the functionality. Handling 8000 photos with thumbnails can be a nightmare even for good applications working on powerful computers.
I'm using a HP Scanjet 5590 and the version of Photosmart Essential is 90.xx. The website lists another version as 110.xx. Should I change to 110 or leave it at 90.xx? If I upgrade, will it affect the scanning operation?

Returning at your question, it is always recommended to upgrade the software to the latest version. If you upgrade the software, the scanning process will be improved.

You can download the package from the HP FTP server. You can use a download accelerator to resume the file if it's downloading slow.
