photoadele Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 There is no way to Aquire the scanner into Design. You can do this in Affinity Photo, but it would be great to save this additional step by allowing Design to access the scanners.

John Rostron Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Scanners will generate bitmaps. What would you want to do with a bitmap imported into Designer?

John As far as I have seen, most designer art originates as pencil drawings. So you scan in and trace.

John Rostron Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 What I do with scanning into Photo on Windows is this (I'm sure there is an equivalent for Mac): I have Affinity Photo as the default program to open tiff files. I use VueScan to scan my images and then save to a convenient location (often a Temp folder). When the file is saved by VueScan, it will then open automatically in Affinity Photo. This process is only marginally slower than scanning directly from Photo. If you set Designer as the default program to open tiffs, then it would open in Designer. I'm sure it would also work with any other scanner software. John Quote Windows 10, Affinity Photo 1.10.5 Designer 1.10.5 and Publisher 1.10.5 (mainly Photo), now ex-Adobe CC CPU: AMD A6-3670.
