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).

John Many=some. That functionality is missing from at least one major scanner manufacturer. John Rostron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 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) Quote Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
