Scanner

[Christophe54]

Bonjour,

Comment faire pour scanner un document,j'ai l'impression que ce n'est pas possible.

The Affinity applications (Designer, Photo, and now Publisher) do not support scanning on Windows. Serif staff have said that this is due to the lack of Windows scanner drivers that operate in 64-bit mode.

Merci pour votre reponse

Just for interest sake, Vuescan supports windows 10 64bit, my old Epson scanner still works.

True. And Serif could, if they wished, write code to operate the scanners directly, as VueScan does, rather than depending on Windows drivers for that functionality. But Serif does not want to write code to operate scanners. They want to write code to edit photos, etc., and they want to leave the programming of the scanners to the scanner vendors and to the OS vendors.

However, if you have Vuescan, then you can tell it to pass scanned images to an external viewer program, and you could tell Windows to use Affinity Photo, or Designer, or Publisher as the application. Basically, instead of opening an Affinity app and saying "acquire image from scanner" you could open Vuescan and have it send the image directly to the Affinity app.
