I have no current way of using those photos without stacking/stitching/merging etc.Īlso, I did a tester course (PS) not long ago and through that and speaking to others, I was taken aback by some of things it is possible to do in post processing and whilst I could probably get LR to do some (or most things with plug-ins) when the Tutor mentioned Affinity as a stand alone new package, it set me thinking. Several things I'm hoping to experiment with in my continuing learning curve of digital photography, but nothing that definite as a must do I'm still finding my direction I wish to take it, but a seed was set in my mind that I could do more experimenting with post processing when I recently discovered my camera is capable of far more than I could imagine with things like focus bracketing, HDR bracketing, and panorama setting. Digital photography is still a relatively new, but important, hobby for me and I am currently going though I'll try this and that phase to find the direction I am going to concentrate on and maybe my niche! Some things are actually done better than in PS, and Affinity also runs remarkably swiftly, even on my 4.5 years old MacBook. But it's very close, and most photographers won't miss anything. Personally, I'm not editing crack, so I can't tell you whether it's exactly 100% as good as PS. Then you just have to right-click any image, select 'Edit externally' (or something to that effect) and the image is sent over to Affinity right away.Īs for learning, Affinity a) has a great forum where questions are answered quickly, either by other users or staff, b) has a large selection of instructional videos on Vimeo and Youtube, that is continuously being expanded, and c) Serif (the company behind Affinity) is planning to release a workbook to go along with it, as they have already done for Designer. It works well with LR, where it can be set up as an external editor. It's a mighty good program, both relative to its price, and just in general. Certainly worth checking if this will impact you.Don't have Windows, but use Affinity on a Mac. This incompatibility breaks the workflow in many instances and I would have hoped Serif would have been more supportive.

exe files when launching external applications. exe files, and some third party applications don't yet appear to be compatible with these - unfortunately it is down to each third party app to support execution alias. They have also confirmed that these are 'execution alias'.

Our developers have been investigating this, and have confirmed the following:Ĭertain applications do not like using the generic %LocalAppData% path, instead please try the following:Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsAppsAffinityPhoto2.exeĬ:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AffinityDesigner2.exeĬ:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AffinityPublisher2.exe Serif are aware of this issue but have disappointedly come back with "it's up to the other people to find a solution". exe files to be added for extra functionality eg DXO Photolab "Export to Application", hardware devices like the Stream Deck. There is currently an issue in that AP installs as a "Store" app and that means that the expected.
