Workflow follow up question.

[hcaroselli]

Recently I asked a question about my how to adjust my workflow using Affinity Photo. I am still new to affinity Photo.  Before AP I used Lightroom and Photoshop CS6 along with many plugins that are accessible from LR or PS. I start my process in LR selecting a photograph, make changes and then go to PS or one of the plugins. When I finish I exit PS or the plugin and am returned to LR where the image appeared in the LR catalog with all the changes made externally. 

Evidently AP does not work this way. In fact it doesn't seem to recognize the LR catalog at all. This means when I exit AP I must save the image in a new file that my LR catalog knows nothing about. 

At first glance this seems like a serious shortcoming in AP. I rely heavily on the LR catalog as the main repository for all my images, modified or not.

My question today is, how do Affinity users coming from the world of LR and PS change their workflow to accommodate the fact that Affinity doesn't seem to support working with a central catalog? Does Affinity Photo have plans to change this?

Thank you.

Hi Hcaroselli,

We would like to create a DAM app in the future but we don't have anything set in stone just yet. Hopefully another forum user with LR experience will be able to drop by and answer your other questions

Thanks
