Affinity DAM

[photoShooter 1]

It has been years since Affinity announced that a digital asset manager (DAM) was in the works. Then, conflicting information led people to believe that the DAM project was cancelled. Final word from Affinity clarified that a DAM was in production. That was a few years ago. Therefore, I think it appropriate to ask Affinity on the status of the DAM project. Affinity: what is the status of your DAM?

Hello @photoShooter,

one of the latest posts on this topic by a forum moderator was posted about two days ago:

I assume you will not get much more information than this.

@Patrick Connor I suggest to add the DAM question to the FAQ subforum. It's really really frequently asked.

FAQ are for questions that have specific answer, not wishlist items.

It belongs in a "Frequently Requested Features" forum (which at the moment doesn't exist).

The question could be "Are you working on DAM?" and this is asked frequently and has also a clear answer.

I use Affinity, Aperture, and Photos.  I will not longer be using Aperture when I replace my computer, in less than a year.  After using Aperture since it came out I prefer it to the other two.  Compared to using Affinity with Photos' DAM, using Aperture is so much better that it is fun as well as being more efficient.  I not a professional and enjoy working with and sharing photos.   A first cut of 500 images can be a pain using the Affinity/Photos combo or a pleasure with Aperture.  IMO a well integrated and flexible DAM would make Affinity at least as good as Aperture (RIP).
