dv8.info Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 It would be good to be able to directly scan into Affinity Photo Quote
John Rostron Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 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. Quote Windows 11, Affinity Photo 2.4.2 Designer 2.4.2 and Publisher 2.4.2 (mainly Photo).

I'm assuming you are on Windows so we will add scanning when the platform can support scanning on 64bit applications. Quote

kirk23 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 There is a free "Scan" app for Windows https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/windows-scan/9wzdncrfj3pv Mark Ingram 1 Quote

They are scanning fine on Windows. Sorry, but I cannot understand the problem here. But Im not a programmer. anon1 1 Quote

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.
