I would like to apologize in advance for my non-response to the three choices listed and my (somewhat) long reply to the subject of the poll. Capture One is the only one I see as the market leader in RAW processing, and that isn't even 100% necessary for a DAM solution for some users. There is no clear winner across the board in the DAM space. Super fast viewing of RAW files and searching and Tagging for a multitue of file formats alone would be valuable at an "affinity" price point if it can be done without creating a seperate database and catalog. Multitude of ways Affinity could break into the market with a viable solution for a number of users.
Many people don't need advanced AI, it is just a nice to have. ACDSEE has facial recognition, not just tagging after the fact. iMatch is $120 or so, which is more than the average consumer wants to pay for a document finding solution (without advanced RAW processing capabilites). Plenty of room in the market for another DAM.
Without AI a new DAM wouldn't have any sense at all
Digikam review 2019 Pc#
And all this would be working on my local pc without 2gb cloud space limit I would be definitely interested.īut I guess the whole AI and neural networks area is a too special discipline and would require tones of money to develop and teach. It's better than anything I ever tried, better than what Lightroom Classic can offer in that regard.īut if a fresh new DAM could sort my images without me, by some cool AI recognizing not just general stuff but every subject on every layer intelligently, and find things better than Adobe AI which to be honest is as simple minded as rock. The long and short of it is that Nik could build RAW Power into as good a DAM as Aperture AND it will be able to read your Aperture Libraries (because Photos already can). and instead use something else, with more features and a better UI more suited to pros, like RAW Power. So I would imagine, that you will be able to import your files into Photos, but then. This means that apps like RAW Power will be able to use the Photos database, which crucially will allow them to share all that metadata and perhaps the adjustments. This is what Aperture uses too, although Aperture can no longer use the current decoding.Ī couple of weeks ago at Apple's WWDC, Apple announced that they are going to allow developers to access to Photos' database in 10.15 Catalina. It taps into the MacOS built-in RAW decoding, which is used/maintained for Photos. Nik Bhatt, ex-lead of Aperture, brought out his excellent RAW Power app a while back. Apple have officially dropped 32bits apps, and Aperture (which still has some 32bits code), can't work on Catalina.Īs professionals, we need to know were to go, how and when to invest.
