11/24/2023 0 Comments Affinity photo vs lightroom![]() Once you have closed an Affinity image the only way to open it again is via the Files app. So even if it IS saved, you have to exit and save just to be sure, which is a royal waste of time. And Affinity should KNOW when an image contains unsaved edits - at the moment it doesn’t, or at least it’s not willing to tell you. Even when you actively close an image you don’t have the option to save if it isn’t saved, and it doesn’t tell you whether it is saved or not. There should at least be the option to save automatically, both when you exit an image and when you close it. The management of ”Closing” and “Saving” images is much too restrictive. Since there are no sensitivity settings for this the only option is to turn it off entirely. Affinity just thinks I am, every couple of seconds, if I change my grip on the Pencil by even the tiniest fraction. Otherwise you are constantly accidentally committing or undoing actions while you are in the middle of them. You have to close every single file, and you have to know whether it needs saving or not before you close it because Affinity DOES NOT TELL YOU.ĭouble-tap on the Pencil is simply unusable and has to be switched off to be able to use the Pencil at all. You can’t even close all the files in a single project together. You shouldn't still be forcing us to import to Photos and then from there to Affinity. At this point this should really be possible. No way to import photos directly from the SD card. Importing in Lightroom and applying the profile there isn't really an option because of Lightroom's miserable handling of Fuji RAW files. The Fuji profiles are the result of Fujifilm's many decades of experience in photographic color technology and nothing available from any other camera manufacturer comes close to them. And no, LUT approximations are not the same thing. This is probably the one item that will eventually kill Affinity for me if it doesn't get changed. ![]() No support for Fuji film profiles for RAW files. ![]() These are the things that I have found counter-productive so far: Unfortunately, there is also a whole range of weird and inexplicable limitations that make me wonder if Serif is really serious about making Affinity a pro level application. The handling of Fuji RAW files is outstanding, and much better than Lightroom, but only if you can live without the Fuji film profiles, which I can't most of the time. Once you get used to the user interface it makes sense. The tools, the range of functions and the quality of the output are all excellent. Everything that does work works very well. I like a lot of what I'm experiencing with Affinity. I'm a photo artist using Fuji cameras and normally I work with Capture One Pro, Photoshop, Luminar 4 and a wide range of plugins, including tools from Topaz, DxO, Imadio and others. I'm experimenting with doing serious photo editing on the iPad Pro and I just upgraded my old Gen1 12.9" iPad Pro to the 2020 model specifically for working with Affinity.
