AnandaT Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hello, Quick and short question: Does Affinity Photo have anything similar to the Lightroom/DxO Photolab bottom toolbar, where you can quickly jump to other photos in that folder/catalog? Ideally I want to see if this software can fit my needs of editing my travel photos, that may need small and quick adjustments.

Staff MEB Posted November 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi AnandaT, Welcome to Affinity Forums No. The current Affinity Photo version for Mac still have a very basic Media Browser but it was removed in v1.7 (currently in Customer Beta).

AnandaT Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Thanks, is the same for the Windows version? Else, are there plans to have something on that line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi AnandaT, The Windows versions never had this Media Browser. It was based on third-party code and was created specifically to access media libraries of Apple/Mac programs (Apple iPhoto, Aperture and Photos etc) although it allowed the user to add custom folders to be listed there. It's functionality was rather limited and as i said, end up being removed altogether from the Affinity Mac apps in v1.7. There's plans to develop a DAM (digital assets manager) but it's something that's not coming anytime soon/there aren't much details yet.

musical-bodger Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I'm glad to hear that DAM is being planned but it's a shame that it won't be available anytime soon. I find the omission of a DAM is a major flaw in an otherwise excellent application. md_germany and TheUs3R 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyoungphotos Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Is there any update to this - I would love to replace photoshop with Affinity Photo. It does everything else photoshop does so why leave out an image browser ???? Surly the fact that there are a load of us out there ready to jump ship would make it worth implementing I need some kind of image browser to choose my photos (RAW) to edit into final photos for my customers Supply - demand is the basics of business so why would you not do it fnannini 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A6500 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 This is the very reason that Affinity Photo is not my No1 programme. I use Capture One 12, or even Nikon Capture NX-D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 You can use XnViewMP to view Affinity files, make sure the lighted option is checked, see image below...

Frank S Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Hi there! In my opinion, on the mac, Affinity Photo works nicely together with Apple Photos. May be not perfect, but still good. At the moment I am testing Affinity Photo on windows. I always install "Faststone Image Viewer" on my windows PCs. It has a basic tool chest, but most important, as a organizer it works well with Affinity Photo. Just add Affinity to Faststones list of editors, and you open the image in Affinity from a short cut. Affinity Photo. - Priced very nicely! Power packed with capabilities! Faststone Image Viewer - Free for home users. Basic functionality. Perfect couple. Powerfull, easy to use, cheap.
