British Airshows Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 It would be good to be able to compare at least two original, uncorrected, images in the photo library so that, if they are similar, it is easier to decide which to work on.

Fixx Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Mac Finder lets you display two RAW image side by side with built in Quick View feature. Surely windows has something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
British Airshows Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Pšenda. Each other. If I take consecutive shots that appear identical, comparing side by side is the most reliable way of establishing whether one is sharper than the other.

Surely windows has something similar? Most likely. I used to use Adobe Lightroom to compare shots, select, crop and convert. I can still use that or another programme to compare and select. It is not essential to use Affinity for the compare and select stages but as I said in my original query 'it would be nice' to be able to do those things without switching from one application to another.

If this is a response to my post, you need to have the "converted/developed" RAW files. Otherwise, preview only a thumbnail in file.

Therefore, I say that this is more of a requirement for DAM.
