scangear tool finds scanner but cannot scan

It's not quite as smooth as going straight into Affinity, but it works.

Scroll down and select MP Navigator 2.2 (or whatever scanning software came with your scanner), then select 'Next'. Press the 'Next.' It will begin to detect programs that may have compatibility problems with windows 7. So long as I set that to Desktop, I can then work away in Affinity, save the result wherever I want and then delete the desktop file when I'm done. A box will appear (Program Compatibility). However, having done all that, I'm pretty much back to where I was with Photoshop ☺, the main difference is that I have to choose where I want to save the 'document' before the image opens in Affinity. 208: IJ Network Scanner Selector cannot be found. With network connection, specify the scanner to use with IJ Network Scanner Selector EX. I also had to make sure that checked Preview so I could see what was being scanned. Click Scanner Selection to select scanner. In the Scangear I had to first add Affinity Photo as an Open With program (In my Windows 10 Affinity Photo exe is in Programs, not Programs 86. That allowed me to change to TIFF or no compression jpeg and then send to Affinity Photo. On my Canon TS6050 scanner I had to select the Scangear option, instead of selecting 'Photo'. I found that by default my Canon scanner is set to idiot mode - automatically choosing jpeg, standard quality and sent to Documents(?!?!?), but once I went deeper into the settings I found I was able to set what I wanted to do with the scanned image.
