Yes, I think... however, you can have ALL your images in catalogs with a footprint and reasonable preview size to carry say on your laptop - e.g. I have one (1TB) (of several) external hard drives with more than 100k images at roughly 8GB file with 2048px previews on the long side. I don't know the 'inner workings' and capabilities/ portabilities of Adobe Bridge though... Just an alternative of DAM handling I found and like...

Affinity Photo Bridge?
C-F replied to rpkphoto's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Well, selecting View/Media Browser... shows me my images (jpg, NEF, ORF, etc) EXCEPT the native .afphoto images - by design or bug? -

Hello, retired, photo hobbyist. Lived in the US but now living on my boat in the Caribbean.... B) . Affinity Photo is my first venture into 'pixel editing' software, until now my main editing software is Capture One 9.2 (latest release). Because of my environment I am restricted to the use of my Macbook Pro retina only. So far I am very impressed with my new software and can already see it opening a whole new world of image manipulating possibilities for me. (Taking the Udemy learning courses right now) I am VERY curious to see the promised offering of a DAM solution to complement the current Affinity line of products!

Hey, yes, that is a good question! I just discovered Affinity Photo and purchased it. Until now my workflow is/was, - Ingesting with Photo Mechanic 5 (PM5) or tethered with Capture One pro 9 (COP9) - Raw converter and 'enhancements' with COP9 in session mode - Media pro 1.5 for "DAM" of the various external hard drives (archives). For the current work in progress I rely on memory which session contains what image set I'm not done with - not the best solution but as I'm just a hobbyist it works. If I get lost I have picasa to quickly browse my hard drive and find a picture to work on (I restricted it to only stay current with my pictures folder where all my current images are stored). I too am curious to see what Affinity will be able to come up with in that department and hope they DON'T try to integrate it with AP and or AD - compatible yes but please not in one program...lol. Meanwhile I ran across a software called 'Photo supreme' http://www.idimager.com/WP/?page_id=20-which I'm on a 30 day trial. I like it. However, it is VERY picky and strictly adheres to the xmp protocol for metadata handling giving me some trouble with my existing metadata as other software apparently is - let's say a bit more loose in its implementation. Very flexible and powerful DAM if you are willing to spent the time and effort to learn and commit to it as a sole metadata handler! As with all programs, one has to first let your head wrap around its requirements and than use it as intended - thats my hope at least. So, I'm quite busy in 2 new avenues ( Affinity Photo for pixel editing and Photo Supreme to get a bit more organization into my messy collection of images). Oh, and to answer your question about AP integration into the workflow, for me there are two possible points of integration, a-) after COP9 to modify an image that can't be done with COP9 and b-) parallel to COP9 as raw developer and editor depending what your intentions with certain image are. Cheers, and I hope that helps a bit... Franz

Hello everyone :) Absolute new to 'pixel editing' software like Affinity photo, which I downloaded the 10 day trial. (Have been working with Aperture, Photo Mechanic, Capture One pro, etc. for a while...) I'm trying to wrap my head around the difference between canvas and document (re)-sizing when editing a photo? When I open a photo through right clicking it opens in a new document with a given canvas size... When would you have to change the document size and when a canvas size change is called for? Thanks for any help in what seems to be a basic question!
