You probably can't unless all three of the following are true: You are using a Mac You are running Affinity Photo V1 or V2 Your scanner shows up as a device of you select File > Acquire Image... in the window that appears. For #3, the scanner driver software that you can get from its maker must be compatible with the version of the macOS you are running. If it is it will appear there & also in the Mac Image Capture application as a supported device.

You better use a native scanner app, and save as tiff file preferably with RBG/16 format. Then open the file in Photo. This workflow avoids multiple issues, and gives you consistent results on every OS, with any scanner.

John Rostron Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I have Photo as the default program to open .tiff files. When VueScan saves a scanned image (as tiff), it automatically opens it in Photo. Simplifies the workflow.
