How do you scan documents into the program?

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.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.

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).

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)
