There is always a room for a good DAM. 

The best on the industry at the moment is digiKam when it comes to manage your digital images. Search tools second to none and allows flexibility to run on all systems..

You reinforce my point in a way.

Windows users have a little masochistic tendency - Never got why so many of them like programs that feels like a random zombie designed the gui and workflow

 

Perhaps we consider what a programme can do more important than how it looks.

I guess that's where we differ. (Old Land Rover Defender driver)

No offence taken. I'm used to iMatch. 

[TIFF - why not TIF?]

I think the file format extension is .tiff. .tif comes from a MS Dos limitation (max 8.3). On Mac at least there are many extensions longer than 3 characters, including .afphoto and .afdesign.

 

So long as Affinity's extensions are the same as other photo software's output I don't care how long they are. It is the consistency that we are after.

[File extension consistency please...]

All my other photo software uses TIF as the file extension for Tagged Image File Format image files. I am curious why TIFF was used by Affinity. It makes my file lists look ragged and will probably interfere with sorting lists. Can we have the option to export as TIF not TIFF please?

[TIFF - why not TIF?]

Thanks. Will do.

I just came across this thread. Don't reinvent the wheel! iMatch (photools.com) has it all and integrates well with Affinity Photo. Concentrate on the fantastic software you have developed and forget about a DAM. Just my two penny worth!

[Default Export destination]

Let's hope so. It will aid 'round tripping' from my DAM software so much more streamlined.

Is there a way to set a default Export location in Photo?

[Mouse wheel control?]

Perhaps if you post it as a bug TPTB might confirm it as a bug or as a feature....

Hi rafikiphoto,

 

If you place the mouse pointer on the value box at the end of the slider you can then use the mouse wheel to change the value

 

Ah, yes. Thank you. That will do just fine.

[Mouse wheel control?]

Coming from another RAW developer programme I have been used to being able to hover the pointer over a slider and using the mouse wheel to adjust that slider. I find it gives more precise control. That doesn't happen in Affinity Photo by default. Can it be made to do so?

[What does Develop do?]

After I open one of my DNG RAW files and make some edits I am asked to 'Develop' the file before closing and moving on. What actually happens in the 'developing' process. Is a local copy made of the file with edits or are the edits simply recorded for the RAW file?
