Chris_83 reacted to Hofnaar in Affinity, we need clarification: are you or aren’t you working on a DAM?
I think a "We" stands for a bunch of people here in the forum and out there on the net.
So yes, the question is important for many users incl. myself.

Chris_83 reacted to Five Photos in Affinity, we need clarification: are you or aren’t you working on a DAM?
Hey guys,
We desperately need some clarification. For the past two years it was mentioned several times here in these forums that you are working on a DAM. However, we haven’t really seen an update on that topic in the past weeks and months. And in your Twitter feed you mentioned a couple of times now that you are currently not developing a DAM. So which is true?
With the recent changes from Adobe with their Lightroom software and with Apple still not improving Photos really, it would be a great time to put a great DAM out there right now. Many, many photographers are looking for a new solution to this old and essential problem. Also, MacPhun just announced a DAM for their Luminar app.
In any case, we just need to know if we should wait for a DAM to be released by you guys or if we should look for other alternatives. Thank you!

Chris_83 reacted to WalterBeiter in [DAM] Affinity Lightroom Killer Request
As Adobe has decided to make the import screen in Lightroom suitable for Instagram users, I have concerns wether Lightroom should be replaced in the future. Adobe makes this concerns even bigger by publishing buggy apps too early which ruin lives of professionals.
Last year, Serif came out with this Affinity-suite and I have high hopes that they will release a Lightroom alternative. I am serious about that, since Capture One, well, does not work for me.
But if you do, make sure that people can transfer 100k photos with any adjustments non-destructively.
I don't know if you have plans for this, or if you have resources for this. But if you have, well, I would be the first to buy.
Adobe is going for Instagram users with all their iOS-photoshop-mix-fix crap, which is not what professionals want. I know that one day, I will enjoy Affinity Designer on my iPad without compromises.
And I hope you guys could rescue the professional photography business.
I know this post has not the right spot in the forum, since everything is about Designer or Photo. But I just want to post this to see wether this could be the future of photography.
Any name suggestions for a Lightroom alternative?
