Instead, their answer is to cease all development an support immediately. Stopping all new features but still releasing compatibility and security fixes is incredibly common in software when major versions change.
They should have a deprecation plan in place for gradually winding down v1. They aren't the first company to have to walk that back a bit with major version releases. But at the end of the day, Affinity was marketed as the answer to subscription bloat. I also have a (quite) expensive Adobe subscription. I've owned all of the Affinity products for quite a while, so I've gotten plenty of value from them. People like to point out that they've owned Affinity products for a long time, and therefore have gotten their value out of them. The bugs that already exist? Those aren't getting taken care of either. That means, if you bought v1 last week, you cannot expect any compatibility support moving forward. They are telling users that v1 is now completely unsupported. I'm not moaning at them about the price, but I think it's fair to consider what they are actually saying. If Affinity put out a photo management app, I'd buy it in a snap.Yes, and I'm one of them. Once you've found your photo though, it's pretty darn good. Like it works, it's just not fast like lightoom is. I've been asking them for a few years now and find it unfathomable that they want to be a photo management app, but can't actually manage photo's in any kind of useful way unless your library is less than 1000 images.īut, it's also not 'that' bad. However, they are apparently working on a fix for that that involves some kind of caching.
The problem with it is that it's slow to build previews and actually manage your library due to it not having a catalog. The only application that comes anywhere near close to this photo management function is exposure software's 'exposure'. And yes, I know that Lightroom does basic to medium editing nowadays, but fundamentally it's heritage and core function is as a photo library management application. I've purchased all the affinity products now and the humungous gap is the Lightroom functionality.
