tropduck Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Many people I know use Lightroom to catalogue their photos. I am trying to totally avoid PS/Lightroom - for (perhaps?!) obvious reasons! ....But i would love to be able to better catalogue our photos. We had been using iPhotos on our Mac, but we just have too many images, so i have moved to storing them on an external hard drive. ...Can anyone explain to me their system of storing and accessing their images? Must admit to not being an overly competent computer user it seems!! LOL. Having them on external hard drive is ok, and have been using tags to seperate into groups, but it just seems cumbersome, and i would love to be able to see and open quite a few images before deciding what to work on. Would prefer to not have to access them all through Photos, if i am then going to process in Affinity. Thanks!! i still have SO MUCH to learn!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 LR is the best database/catalog system. AP does not help here. tropduck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropduck Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Oh Drats!! thank for letting me know. At what point then do you do stuff in LR before bringing to Affinity? It seems you can do quite a bit in LR alone?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 just so you know Affinity will be making such (sort of) a software themselves as well https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/13792-dam-affinity-lightroom-killer-request/?p=61067 cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
