Viewing batches of RAW photos

[Jim UK]

Hi

 

I am new to Affinity having previously used iPhoto and Photos. I am using Affinity so I can edit RAW photos and because Photos has more limited editing facilities than iPhoto had.

 

I would be grateful for some help.

 

After I take a set of photos I would like to be able to view all the new pictures quickly so I can weed out those I do not want to keep. I am taking all photos in RAW format.

 

The photos appear in Photos as thumbnails which does not give me enough detail to decide if I want the photo,  but when I try to open them I just get a triangle with an exclamation mark - presumably Photos can only show RAW photos as thumbnails.  

 

I can open the RAW photos in Affinity but the only way I am able to do so at the moment is via a slow one by one process.

 

Is there a facility in Affinity that allows me to quickly view all my RAW photos in the same way that iPhoto and Photos allows the viewing of jpegs? If not, is there a free or cheap app. that I can use for this purpose.

 

Many thanks

 

Jim

Hi Jim UK,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Affinity Photo is a RAW converter/developer and Photo Editor. It doesn't manage libraries as iPhoto, Photos, Aperture and other DAM software (digital assets management).

There's already quite a few threads discussing alternatives (i've listed some below) and we do intend to launch our own DAM software later too.

- Digital Asset Management with Affinity Photo Beta

- Digital Asset Manager - a.s.a.p.

- feature request: Affinity Lightroom Killer

Many thanks MEB much appreciated

 

All the best
