The reason given for not supporting this is that the current scanner software is typically 32-bit and Affinity is 64-bit. Until this is resolved, the best workaround is to use the software from your scanner (or a third-party alternative) and ensure that when you save the image, then it is in a format that will use Affinity Photo as its default program. Then, when you save a file from the scanner software, it will automatically open in Affinity.

Windows 11, Affinity Photo 2.4.2 Designer 2.4.2 and Publisher 2.4.2 (mainly Photo).

It's more of a platform issue than anything else. I'm assuming you are on Windows so we will add scanning when the platform can support scanning on 64bit applications.

Can I ask what's wrong with the scanner manufacturer's software? Can you not scan with that, then import into Photo?

Isn't Photoshop CS6/CC or Corel Photo etc a 64bit app? ;)
They are scanning fine on Windows. Sorry, but I cannot understand the problem here. But Im not a programmer.

What advantage does using Photoshop give you, over the scanner manufacturer's software?

Is simple. The All In one way of doing it. Time is always money in the business. :)

When I scan using VueScan and saving as jpeg, and with Affinity Photo open, the image opens automatically in Photo. Not quite all-in-one, but pretty close. The same would happen if I saved as tiff.
