PhilipAC Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I am totally new to Affinity Photo. Am I able to view thumbnails of all photos in a folder, or can I only view one at a time please? If so, how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmrecs01 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 @PhilipAC Welcome to the Affinity forums. Affinity Photo is not a "photo viewer" but rather a "photo editor". IOW, you can "open" as many photos as you wish in AP (each will be on a separate tab on the workscreen) but you cannot use it to simultaneously view all your photos, rather as you would in a photo album. What is termed a "Digital Asset Manager" (DAM) is the equivalent of that photo album; Serif staff have mentioned in the forum several times over the years that such an app is likely to be released at some time in the future but it is not currently available. However, there are a number of "photo album" apps available from various manufacturers, which you can buy, download and install, at least some of which allow you to set up Affinity Photo as the "editor of choice", so that any image you wish to work on can be set to open in AP, usually by means of a specific menu entry or shortcut. Perhaps the simplest method of viewing many picture files is to open their containing folder in Windows Explorer and choose View>Large icons, or even View>Extra large icons. If AP is set as your default editor for your photo files, simply double-clicking on one of your icons will then open the picture in AP to allow you to edit/manipulate it.
