Hello!
 
We've got a new app coming out - for the latest generation Apple TV (Late 2015)!
 
It's a learning / teaching tool for users of Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer.
 
For now, it simply contains all our video tutorial content from the website / Vimeo. We'll of course be adding more focussed, appropriate content over time. We'll also be doing a better job of categorising the content and grouping it together.
 
If you have an Apple TV (Late 2015) and would like to beta test this new tool - please email tv@seriflabs.com and tell us your email address (the email must be associated with an active Apple ID) - we'll then add you to the TestFlight beta program and you should receive further installation instructions.
 
Thanks!
 
Andy.

Hi,
 
Affinity Photo is not a DAM - it also does not support batch operations (yet). For now, I'd recommend you choose Acdsee.
 
Thanks,
 
Andy.
