Hans-Ronald Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I use Affinity Photo in the 10 day trial period. In the tutorials and help function can't find anything on the foto-library concept of affinity. In other words where do I store my photos and how do I manage them. Documentation so far only shows how to export single photos, that shouldn't be all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 17, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hi Hans-Ronald, Welcome to Affinity Forums Affinity Photo is more comparable to Photoshop for RAW development and image editing mostly - editing one photo at a time (although you can have multiple images/documents open) - than Lightroom, On1 Photo RAW etc which are geared towards photographer's workflows/needs. There's no library/cataloging or browser views/management, or ways to apply the same settings to several photos from a photoshoot and similar functionality. We may provide that later thought another app/Dam software. So you either have to use it with in conjunction with a third party photo management/cataloging app or consider another app entirely according to your needs.

Hans-Ronald Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Thank you, this restricts the usability for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Pearson Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Since you do not have a cataloging/management tool, does the Affinity Team have any recommendations for a good one? Free or low cost is preferred since all I am looking for is a tool that searches my drives for images and then allows then to be cataloged then searched by metadata. The ones I see are focused at Cloud solutions that provide editing and with Affinity Photo, I don't need another editing tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 See for example "10 Best Photo Catalog Software", there are a bunch of articles like those which list and name several such tools. Free ones ...
