Creating an alternative to Adobe Lightroom

[tomaspetrus 1]

Hey guys,

I'd like to know if there are any plans to develop an Affinity software which would compete with Adobe's Lightroom from a side of batch photo editing. I'd love to go "full affinity" in the future, but as I'm getting more into photography I find it extremely hard to edit like 200+ photos in Affinity Photo. 

Affinity, please, consider an addition to your already amazing collection of software. <3

Hi @tomaspetrus,

welcome to the forum.

There is something in development that is considered a Digital Asset Management (= DAM). It is completely unclear when this will be available.

You can read through a longer thread here. It includes a post by one of the Affinity developers who clearly confirms that something like this is in the making 

Cheers,
d.

Many people are waiting patiently for that one. Serif won't announce a release date until it's nearly ready, which is okay. Though an update on that matter would be more than welcome.

An alternative to Adobe Bridge to select Affinity Photo or Designer files and even for preview of RAW files should be very helpfull.
