BrianL Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 This is from a very happy user of Affinity Photo! But what I really miss is something like the cataloguing / library functionality of Adobe Bridge, Photoshop Elements etc. I don't really want to use Adobe Bridge, having been glad to escape Adobe's clutches when I made the switch to Affinity. But I find that trying to select images in Windows or Google Drive is laborious and, of course, I can't see comments, stars or anything apart from the file name, date & file size. Even if Affinity Library were a standalone app, linked to Affinity Photo, Designer & Publisher but purchased separately, that would suit me. Is such a thing in development? If not, it's Adobe Bridge for me, sadly. But definitely not back to Photoshop or Lightroom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like APhoto, it's a photo editor, not a catalog (DAM), and going back to it wouldn't do you any good (comments, star).
