It is possible, though, to use adjustment layers and live filters and mimic some of the Develop Persona's functionality.

And that will work out, it's just a matter of habituation! Cheers

First off I want both of you to welcome at the forum.

But, with all due respect, I have to say I am a little disappointed by your contributions. Serif has just opened the whole suite of three programms for free use (trial) for three months. They are opening you and anyone else to an enormous amount of features to explore and to learn. And the first thing you do is to make the effort to create an account at the forum and to complain about what is missing. You may want to look around in the forum and try to find out that there are some ways to use an external digital asset management tool (DAM) to work together with Affinity.

Hi dominik, thank you for your welcoming and the link, will look into it.

And totally understand your point and think you might be right, but I didn't have any bad intentions.

I did search in the forums, and that's why I didn't create a new thread myself, and I did said that so far it's been a great experience, especially with the Develop Persona, and didn't mean to be rude or ungrateful by any means, since I explained my only issues in a constructive way. And yes, I'm gonna buy the three softwares, didn't even know it was with a 50% discount at the moment, I just searched for Adobe alternatives yesterday and tried Affinity. To be honest, I'm even like the Develop Persona more, simpler approach, if I compare it to Lightroom.

And the link you just sent us will be useful thanks, but what I miss the most, and again, is the possibility to go back and fort between Personas and keep the settings there (and I'm not sure if we aren't already able to do that and I didn't find out yet how!).

The library, I could live without it, even if I had to just use the Windows default explorer, no big deal.

I just installed the Affinity trio to test for 90 days, and was about to post this also.

The only thing I miss on the Affinity Photo - (Develop Persona is great) is a Library, and also, for example, if I do some changes on the Develop Persona, go to Photo Persona, and then go back to the Develop Persona, I would like to see the changes that I made there, if I want to further continue developing that raw photo from where I left.

I know that this is supposed to be a Camera Raw alternative, but still, I agree with Rog08, it's still what keeps me needing to use Lightroom.
