Lightroom replacement
Josh Eddie Photography replied to gmiliotis's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Apple Photos is nowhere near a replacement for Lightroom. It’s impressive what Apple has done with Photos and I use it to organize edited photos, but it is not a full on editing studio. That’s almost like saying you don’t need Affinity Photo on windows because it has Microsoft paint. -
This is basically the only thing holding me back from fully embracing Affinity 100%. Lightroom is absolutely CRITICAL to me for this feature alone. And I don't just want/need an equivalent of Adobe Bridge and Photoshop. I need an Affinity Photo editor with a built in DAM. Affinity Aperture has a nice ring to it.

Lightroom replacement
Josh Eddie Photography replied to gmiliotis's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Yeah agree with you. There are a bunch of hobby and freelance photographers out there that just want a nice cheap photo editor to use. Even the $10 a month Photography plan from Adobe adds up quickly. -

Lightroom replacement
Josh Eddie Photography replied to gmiliotis's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Wanted to add my support for a Lightroom replacement. I regularly shoot large batches of photos and opening each one individually in Affinity Photo is not practical. Really want to completely ditch Adobe, but as things stand now I cannot leave Lightroom. Now their main competitor has also switched to monthly subscriptions. My tipical work flow for photography goes like this: 1. Import photos into Lightroom 2. Go through photos rejecting/deleting obvious bad photos (out of focus, bad lighting, bad framing) 3. Begin to make small edits and tweaks as I further sort 4. Begin flagging photos I particularly like/have finished editing I rarely will open one photo fully edit it and then go to the next. For me it's a slow processing of a set as a whole often over multiple days. I need something that both acts as a DAM and a RAW processor that maintains the edits made between sessions. I don't watch the equivalent of Bridge and Photoshop. I need a full equivalent to Lightroom. Obviously this is not a simple thing to create, but it's my #1 wish list item and the one thing preventing me from fully switching to Affinity products. Responding the Snapseed above me. There may be great DAM products out there, but practically no Lightroom type products. I hope this is a HUGE priority for Serif. Getting the photography community on board would be a big market. -

Automatic update
Josh Eddie Photography replied to ygoe's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Completely agree! That is one really nice thing about Creative Cloud is the manager of the different installed programs, install location, and automatic updates. Would love to see Affinity release something like this to manage all of the programs. -
Suggestion for sections
Josh Eddie Photography replied to renate75's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
I was noticing this myself last night. It was requiring me to manually count the pages to try to figure out the correct page I need to be on. Would be nice to see an accurate display of this. -
In Indesign you can apply simple color labels to Master Pages. This allows for quick recognition in the pages panel of what masters are applied to what pages. This is a really useful feature. Currently Master Pages in Publisher while they seem to work great all blend in together. I've attached an image of the pages panel for an Indesign document I have.

Object Styles, etc.
Josh Eddie Photography replied to chaylock's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Just downloaded publisher and immediately noticed the lack of object styles! Affinity this is an absolute critical feature to implement, hope it gets added before release.
