Compatible or not???

[OrlandoMergal]

I would like to use my Epson Perfection V500 Scanner with Affinity Photo on my iMac 27 computer running Mac OS Sierra.  

Will this work?

I found a string on Google stating that Twain drivers wouldn't work with Affinity Photo because they are 32 bit.  Is this true?  If it is I think it's a lame excuse because PhotoShop CC 2019 is 64 bits and the Twain driver works fine.  If it isn't true how do I get it to work.

Second, I would like to use a Canon Application called “Canon Print Studio Pro” that drives my Canon PIXMA Pro 100 printer.  This application acts as a driver and appears in the “Automate” menu in Photoshop.  I can't find such a menu in Affinity Photo.

Finally, will the Xrite Color Checker Passport ever be compatible with Affinity Photo?

I would have hoped to abandon Photoshop altogether by now and move to Affinity Photo.  But as I've tried to work with it I keep finding incompatibilities.

What's the story here?

Only on Windows. Most scanner manufacturers only make a 32-bit TWAIN interface, and as our apps are 64-bit they can't talk to it. However, as you said you are running a Mac, this won't affect you.

So if it won't affect me, how do I get my scanner to work directly with Affinity Photo?

And how about my other two concerns?  These are all basic functions that Photoshop has had for years and I can't say goodbye to Photoshop until Affinity has them.
