dorkboycomics Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 If I scan (Epson Perfection V550) in greyscale at 600 dpi, the image comes into Affinity Photo as if it's been through a shredder. Works fine in Pixelmator, Photoshop, etc File attached and preview/screenshot. I primarily need scanner support(not good at the moment), some image tweaking (seems fine) and a Save For Web with preview would be great at some point. thanks, -damian scanfail.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted June 15, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hi Dorkboy,I've tried scanning using our Canon CanoScan LiDE 210. I was able to scan successfully at both 300 and 600 DPI using 'Kind: Black and White' and 'Greys: 256 Greys'. Does your scanner use the Apple scanning software or does it use it's own? What options do you have set when you scan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorkboycomics Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm using Apple's built in scanning - Epson has their own also, but I haven't used it. I'm using 256 grays, 600 dpi - I don't see this issue with the same scanner and settings in any other apps. I have tried both Pixelmator and Photoshop.

Ulysses Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Sorry to resurrect this thread after so long, but I’m having the same issue. Here’s my setup: macOS Sierra 10.12.6 Affinity Photo 1.6.7 for Mac Epson WF-4720 I am using the built-in Mac drivers for this multi-function device / scanner. These drivers have always worked just fine in any other app I use. I thought they were working well for Affinity Photo, too, but perhaps I’m not remembering correctly. In Affinity Photo, it seems to recognize the scanning device and starts the scan process; however, the result is all but unrecognizable (see attached photos comparing the result from Affinity Photo with that from Photoshop). I have tried this at 600, 300, and 100 dpi. Affinity Photo's garbled scans are always the same except for the resolution. Any idea what’s going on or what I should try? Thanks in advance.

Ulysses Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 No takers at all on my scanning problem? Serif developers or ambassadors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckINTL Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Sorry to say, I have the very same issues ... and if I do "black & white scan", Affinity Photo crashes. macOS Mojave 10.14.2 Affinity Photo 1.6.7 for Mac Canon Lide 300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you’re getting a warning message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I briefly tried the latest Affinity Photo beta 1.7. Sadly it has the same issue with this Epson scanner. The scanner works well on its own if I want to save images to my Mac's Desktop. Photoshop has no issues, nor does any other application as far as I know thus far. Hopefully the developers are listening and looking into it. For now, my workaround is to scan a TIFF (8-bit only) to the desktop and then open this TIFF in Affinity Photo.
