Scan Documents into program

How do you scan documents into the program?

Frustratingly Twain is not supported by Affinity with Windows but Mac users have that facility.

Use the scanner app, or the default app of the operating system. Save as TIFF/16. 

Open file if Affinity App.

It works well and robust.
Direct scanning on MacOS is nothing to desire, too many unfixed bugs.

Most scanner Apps can be configured so that the saved image is opened automatically in the Photo Editor of your choice (Affinity Photo of course).

Many=some. That functionality is missing from at least one major scanner manufacturer.

I use the(free) XnViewmp to manage my graphics. You can set up any program to open a file and then access it via ALT and the number on the list It also has great scanning abilities. I just scan, save the file then ALT+1 loads it into the Photo beta

If you do a LOT of scanning there is Vuescan that can even drive OLD scanners. You can scan to any fie type including PDF (and optionally and OCR text file)
