  1. Thanks
    zitemedia got a reaction from Alfred in fading edges (all 4) for an image.   
    I'm referring to the post that Callum sent me to in his answer to my O.P.   
    And I've tried the solution posted by -S-

    From a wedding photographer's point of view:
     
    Haven't had the time to scroll through all posts here but for me, being a professional wedding photographer and having to go through thousands of images every week of the year:
    Some integrated intelligent batch file renaming option, wether at import or export.  
      Culling: a fast way to go through several thousands of images and select which to keep and which to reject. Even LR is too slow at this (image load time, sharply) and i have to revert to Photo Mechanic to be able to do this quickly.
      Import presets and the ability to create custom (import) presets.
      The ability to apply lens corrections and to apply them automatically.
      100% support for Fujifilms DNG's which LR still doesn't seem to master despite the booooming success of Fuji's X series APS-C camera's.
      The ability to do batch editing or sync edits across a chosen range of images and the ability to choose exactly which edits are to be synced across that range of images.
      Export presets and the ability to create custom (export) presets. The ability, among those presets, to export to Compressed small size DNGs.
      The ability to save the edits only (XML) for a large amount of images.  On LR these are the .xmp files which can be saved separately from the image files, which makes it very easy to send your edits only along with Compressed DNG's to a colleague or other party who could then finalize your edits.
      A way to adapt the UI to the type of job you are doing and the ability to save different UI presets. Call them Persona if you want.  I'm just not interested in having waaay too many options available that will only clutter my screen and slowdown my workflow.  As someone else already mentioned:  Take everything compositing to Affinity Photo.  Leave Affinity DAM without.  And ensure a seamless back and forth interoperability between both.
      The ability to chose to further edit an image in a  compositing tool such as Affinity Photo only when needed though. I only very rarely use Photoshop as most of the edits i need are available inside LR. "Edit in...." would then offer the user the choice in which software he wishes to further edit the image.  Edits inside the other software (such as PS or Affinity Photo) would then be saved / synced to the DAM when returning to the DAM.
    Some thorough and well thought interoperability or portability of files between the several Serif / Affinity software packages would be awesome.
      Clever backup and recovery options... The lack of support of any of the above features would have an enormous (negative) impact on my workflow (and i'm sure it's the same for most wedding photographers...) and would make a DAM pretty useless for any serious wedding photographer.
