Jacqueline Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Hello. I am not sure if this is the correct forum to use and expect to be transferred to another. I am getting more used to Affinity Photo now and find that the lack of having an ability to organise and view and tag images is discouraging. I have waited a few years to see if the company were going to do something about this. At the present it seems that the only alternative is to go down the 'free Adobe Bridge' route; nothing in life is ever free. It took me long enough to untangle myself from the Adobe company and really do not want to get involved with them again. I would be happy to pay for an image cataloguing package but know little to nothing about alternatives to Adobe - recommendations please.

Ali Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I an using Phototheca X, which suits me. Its facial recognition feature is a big time-saver. You can customise it so that you can launch images into Affinity for editing. https://lunarship.com/download/ Quote Ali 🙂 Hobby photographer.

I guess she meant glacial instead of racial. 🤔 Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alasdair Gillespie Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 While Affinity Photo is excellent not having the ability to use keywords is disappointing! It is something needed and should be added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardMH Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 NeoFinder/abeMeda is one option. It has a trial version and has a lot more capability than I need. Having a Sony camera, the free Capture One Express for Sony covers my limited catalogue needs. (I don't have a huge number of images). Developing image catalogues seems a bit of a minefield. Took Luminar quite some time to get it right and they lost many users in the process (including me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be able to find a copy of PhotoStack on Amazon Marketplace or eBay, but if you go down that route you need to make sure that it comes with a valid product key.
