Scan from All in one printer

[Coastalguy]

I found posts on options requested for scanning, but one said not available but the other saying it was under the File -> import menu, which I could not find on the trial. As I use scanning heavily, I was wondering if this option, if not already there and I missed it, would be forthcoming?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums

For various reasons (most of them Microsoft's fault) the Windows version of Affinity software doesn't support scanning directly into the software. The Apple OS  makes this function straightforward so there is a difference between the two desktop versions in this respect.

The trial functionality is the same as the purchased version.

If you're on Windows and you do a lot of scanning, you might want to consider using VueScan.

If you use VueScan and if Affinity is your default program to open tiff (or jpeg) then when you save your scanned image, it will open automatically in Affinity. Almost as good as a plugin!

Yup. My link was actually to your post here, John, rather than direct to the Hamrick site.

Thanks Alfred. I had assumed that it was to the Hamrick site.
