Merok1 Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 How do I import an image from a scanner? Quote
walt.farrell Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 For Mac: https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/pages/GetStarted/scanningImages.html For Windows: Scan and save using the software provided with your scanner, or with other software. There are commercial scanning packages such as VueScan, or on Windows 10 you can try Windows Fax and Scan, on Windows 10. Then Open the scanned image in your Affinity application. (With some packages, such as VueScan, you may be able to have Affinity open the image automatically after you save it.)

Merok1 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Posted December 11, 2019 Hi Walt, Thanks for your advice, when I tried it, it worked! I am rather surprised that Serif left out the scan option they had in Page Plus and Photo Plus, it would have made it easier and more direct. All the best for Christmas and 2020, Merok 1 (Bertie) Quote
walt.farrell Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 You're welcome, Bertie. Serif have said that they left out scanning in the Windows version of Affinity Photo as it is a 64-bit application (unlike their older applications), and the Windows 64-bit driver support for scanners is quite poor.

Mignolyx Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 MI sembra vergognoso che non si possa scannerizzare direttamente dal Affinity Photo. Davvero, la trovo una mancanza grave per un software di questo livello Quote

Davvero, la trovo una mancanza grave per un software di questo livello Please read Walt's post above. The problem is due to Windows lack of scanner support, not Serif. Personally I've always found it better to scan using the scanner's software, rather than taking a shortcut and scanning directly into any application.
