What catalogue and workflow system do you use?

[Fergus]

Hi.

I'm just waiting for my new iMac to come and I'm thinking about starting fresh with a new set-up for my photos. I'm an amateur / hobby photographer. At present I just shoot jpg but would like to learn to use RAW as well.

Up till now I've been using Picasa for everything and much prefer it to Photos for mac - maybe just because I'm used to it, don't know. 

But, I'm thinking of taking my editing up a notch and buying Affinity.

My question is - what software do Affinity users use as a catalogue / viewer to go along with Affinity as your editor? And what are the workflow steps you use?

Yes, I would like to know the answer to that as well!  I've read that Bridge will work.  I can't seem to find good info.  I was an Aperture user and when I updated the my iMac, Aperture ceased to work.  Such a great application.  I bought Affinity and I am lost!

Media Pro for DAM, wish it had face recognition but it doesn't, wish it would import my 4K movies but it doesn't…

Shoots to Lightroom, finalizing in PS or AP. I do not use viewer really (unless you count LR as one) but if I should I probably would use PhotoMechanic.

Some prefer Capture 1 over LR, but I think its catalogue features are not as robust.
