gwenlenan Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Are there any plans to add an 'Import from Scanner' interface? Or is it there and I haven't found it yet. Looking to do this in Photo and Designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted June 10, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hi Gwenlenan, Welcome to the forums As the Affinity range are only 64bit and Windows has poor 64bit scanner driver support we have decided not to include this feature in Affinity on Windows. Thanks Callum Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smee Again Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 @Callum --- I understand what you said in the post, but among the things Corel got right was their 64 bit program being able to scan images from my twain device (Brother AIO). I have been hoping to ditch Corel's Paintshop Pro (their advertising software seems to reinstall constantly) but until I can scan documents with Affinity Photo (I do lots of court work which requires copies of documents be included in emails) I've got that relic stuck on my desktop as well as taking up way too much space on my HDD. I'm sure others would like to scan in old film images for use with the Affinity Photo. I sure hope you guys change your minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwenlenan Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 My reason for making this request in the first place is that I am anxious to get rid of Photoshop. The only thing I use it for now, is importing from a scanner. Since having Affinity Photo, It's very rare that I even think about using Photoshop. So, if the guys at Affinity, can see their way clear to adding this facility sometime in the future, it would be great. Until I started looking at this, I didn't realise so many users were of a similar mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Rostron Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I use VueScan for scanning both flatbed and slides. I have set the VueScan output file type as tiff. I also have set Windows to automatically open tiff files in Photo. Now, when I scan an image and save it (as tiff) it will automatically open in Photo. This works whether Photo is open or not. I find that this is almost as efficient as if I could scan directly from Photo. I'm sure that this would work with any scanner software, such as xnviewmp. I have found that with my Corel Paint setup, if I ask it to scan, then it calls on VueScan to do so! I have suggested that Affinity should be able to do the same, that is: Input from Scanner would just open my designated scanner software. John .
