RAW images management software?

[mam225]

Hello, 

 

I bought Affinity photo on Mac and I love it so much. it is powerful software comes with a decent price. I honestly cancelled my adobe subscription because of Affinity Photo. However, I now miss Lightroom or/and adobe bridge to organize and view my RAW files. 

 

I'm looking for a free or cheap tool that can do the same where it imports RAW and manage them well. it will also be helpful if it complement Affinity where I can open the RAW in Affinity from inside that tool like Lightroom and Photoshop. 

 

any suggestion is welcome. Appreciate all the help. 

 

Thank you

Try Photos and the free 'Open In' app. This lets you use Photos as your management software but you can pass any image out to Affinity Photo to edit and then save back into Photos. It won't cost you anything to experiment with.

nope, it doesn't work. 

 

I need to preview my RAW images that are in my external drive. the built in preview takes about 15 seconds to just preview one RAW file. 

 

basically, I need adobe bridge alternative. 

 

any suggestion?

 

thank you
