Does Affinity Photo support flatbed/slide scanners?

[wildscribe 2]

I am using Affinity Photo for Windows, version 1.5.1.54, and I cannot get it to recognize an Epson Perfection 2400 Photo flatbed scanner.

 

I do not think the issue is with the computer (Windows 10) because there are two other photo editing programs on this desktop and both allow me to scan in photos. 

 

I have also noticed that the import options are limited. Does Affinity Photo support scanning? And if not, are there plans to support scanning?

Hi wildscribe,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

No, Affinity Photo doesn't support scanning due to poor 64-bit scan driver support. Check this post from Patrick Connor for more info.

Thank you MEB! 

 

I appreciate the fast response. After reading the post from Patrick Connor, it appears that once 64-bit scanning is worked out, there is a good chance that this feature might come to Affinity for Windows. It's also good to know that Affinity Photo is a native 64-bit program.
