Wayne Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I have purchased a new camera that is not supported by 5.6 of Lightroom. Prompted by the Affinity review on Bythom.com, I am considering changing my habit of paying Adobe $110+ every 6 months to upgrade, and, instead, try Affinity. The camera is a Fuji x-t10. Some things about me: 1. I am not a Photoshop user. I have used Lightroom primarily for the purpose of converting RAW files and accomplishing minor edits, as well as cataloging photos. 2. I have some interest is becoming more proficient in RAW file development. I am not a pro. This is a hobby. 3. Right now, my primary interest is being able to download RAW files from SD cards, view the files, and perform minor edits/development, and then store the files for later review, printing, distribution. 4. Computers/devices used in my household include Macbook Pro, Imac, and latest generation Ipad. My question: Will purchase of Affinity, combinded with software native to my Macbook/Imac allow me to accomplish the items stipulated in 3, above? I realize Affinty is a wonderful program, allowing fantastic results for those capable of comprehending and useing the various features- I have viewed a few of the tutorials; but will it serve as a surrogate for Lightroom in the inexperienced and incapable hands of someone like myself? thank you for any response.

Staff Callum Posted August 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi Wayne, Welcome to the forums, Affinity Photo will allow you to develop your RAW files and make any necessary changes to them. However I would recommend waiting a couple of weeks as we will be releasing a trial version of the app shortly that you will be able to try and experiment with.
