Full IPTC support is the only way this software can hope to stand as a viable Photoshop alternative. For desktop applications, there is a workaround if you use Photo Mechanic to caption and transmit. But for the iPad/iPhone, there's a real vacuum that a smart company like Affinity could readily fill. Captioning a photo is essential for sending a picture out from remote locations using a phone or tablet when a laptop is impractical. There are lots of photographers out there working for publications that would readily drop their Adobe subscriptions if they could. It's hard enough securing adequate pricing for work, having to pay a monthly fee for something that we could previously purchase outright just adds another hassle to this business.
