nickelnoff Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 I have literally just purchased Affinity Photo ! I have been using Lightroom for quite some years and would like to migrate as efficiently from LR to Photo. Any advise on what I need to do ? All my photos are in DNG format which I suspect can be opened in Affinity however any advice on moving edits across appreciated ? I suspect these need to be re-done but any confirmation appreciated.

Pšenda Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Lightroom is DAM, APhoto is photo editor (like PS), not DAM.

Unfortunately your suspicions are well founded - LR stores its edits as sidecar files, which AP can't handle. There's been talk of an Affinity DAM, but there's no confirmation that this will ever be produced, much less when! And as for Schrodinger's DAM being able to use your sidecar files .... nickelnoff 1 Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10
