Thanks for the tip on FastRAW Viewer, I bought a seat based on your recomendation after trying it out for about 30 minutes. If you want a really great, very inexpensive, culling application, buy FastRawViewer. Photo Mechanic’s strength is culling, not file management (although they’re getting into that). I’ve never used it (not available on Mac) but it is very highly regarded as a full featured DAM for Windows. Available for Mac and Windows.Īlso check out iMatch. It focusses exclusively on file management. It is not for editing (like Luminar, Capture One, On1, or Lightroom) nor is it a raw processor. Luminar - I have it, though I do not use it for DAM processing and have heard a number of mixed reviews on that aspect.Ĭheck out Photo Supreme.

ON1 PhotoRAW - making more advances as a DAM and RAW processor, and at a reasonable price. The RAW processing is in a different class than Affinity. If you really do not need photo editing (I think you would be wise to reconsider): Photo Mechanic is the most efficient tagging and culling software on the marketĬapture One - Digital Asset Management as well as the best RAW processing on the Market. Can anyone suggest something - I'm not looking for anything too complex.

I don't need a program that edits as I have Affinity for that, so just a photo file management system I can use in conjunction with Affinity Photo is what I need. I've had a search on the internet and have a couple of names: Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Bridge, Phototheca3, Abemeda, XNViewMP, Irfanview - I know there are more, but I got a bit overwhelmed. It doesn't need to be free, but I am hoping for something that wont get discontinued (eg Picasa). I am looking for something that would have a one-off payment as I don't want to lock into a subscription. I'm really enjoying using Affinity Photo (and know there's no photo file management system yet available). My photo library has now become too big for me to remember where things are and I spend a lot of time looking for photos I want to find. Hi, I know this has been discussed before, but I am currently just filing my photos into windows explorer with a date and few words in the file name on what they are and they are stored in the cloud.

For mac instal XnViewMP 1.5.4
