UKSnapper Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Is there any prospect/rumour/plan for Affinity/Serif developing a Photo manager/organiser/cataloguer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakk Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hi UKSnapper I quote the FAQ at the top of this forum : Do you plan to have Web site design/Digital Asset Management/animation/video editing products too? We’re not sure yet! We will definitely get the first three products out the way over the next 12 months first before we start looking at other possibilities. Hope it answers your question.

UKSnapper Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hi yakk Many thanks for that! Guess I'll hang onto iPhoto a little longer then ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gear maker Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Howdy UKSnapper, don't upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.3 or higher as iPhoto automatically is replaced by Photo which seems like a poor downgrade of iPhoto. Slow, limited capability, ... I'm having to look for a replacement now. Quote iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with macOS Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKSnapper Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hi Gear Maker - I'm on Yosemite, and have both iPhoto and Photos. iPhoto still works fine, is still in my Applications folder. It seems both can work fine-just a matter of choosing which one you prefer an continue to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gear maker Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 UKSnapper, you are right iPhoto is still in the Applications. It was removed/replaced from my dock, so I thought... That's great. Thanks for pointing this out. But, now I see that all my 25,000+ photos and support photos (faces and thumbnails) have been duplicated by Photo. GROAN! Over 150GB and 180,000+ files. Oh Apple what hath ye done!? Quote iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with macOS Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedorme Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 As a Mac user who switched to Aperture after becoming frustrated with the non-intuitive operation of LR, I now use Aperture for my file organization & storage but Affinity Photo for all of my editing. Aperture also has a feature that allows you to select Affinity Photo as an external editor by going to Preferences & selecting the Export tab; under that you press the Choose button to select the External Photo Editor & pick Affinity Photo. For the External File Format you can select Tiff (8 or 16 bits as you prefer). Then when you want to edit an image from those stored in Aperture, you right-click on the image & select Edit with Affinity Photo App. Affinity Photo will start with the image loaded & ready to be edited. Then to return the edited image to Aperture for storage, select File > Save - a dialog will appear saying the image contains non-pixel elements - Select Save Flattened to flatten the image before sending it to Aperture. That's it; the edited image will appear in Aperture alongside the original. Hopefully Affinity will soon have its own storage & organization of images so it will no longer be necessary to involve Aperture in this DAM function. But for now at least, I find this to be a very easy & straightforward way to use Aperture with Photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
