Hi, I just downloaded the trial version of Affinity Photo to determine if it can replace Photoshop Elements (for Mac) for my purposes. I am using a photo/slide scanner to digitize and fix faded family slides, negatives, and photos that were damaged in a flood. Does Affinity Photo handle 35mm slides and negatives as well as photos? If so, how do I do it; my scanner handles slides, negatives and photos. If not, is this a feature you may be adding in the future? Thank you for any help you can provide. Katya

I had the same problem using Affinity with my CanoScan 9000F. My scanner simply didn't show up as a choice using Affinity, but did with Photoshop Elements. After checking out manuals, posts (here, on the Canon Site, and on the Apple site), I called the tech support line for Canon. A very pleasant and knowledgeable technician explained that Apple is moving away from Twain to ICA. She suggested I disconnect the USB cable from my Mac, uninstall (see Canon manual) the ScanGear and restart the computer. It only took a few minutes, and my scanner showed up! I can easily scan now with Affinity. Perhaps you will have the same experience with your scanner. Good luck!
