Affinity Photo 2

What's the difference between editing and management, please?
Sorry, I'm a bit of a numpty with editing etc :oops: :$
It is all about your workflow when you have photos on your camera and you want to do something with them. Management is downloading to your computer probably to a specific place, tagging, culling etc. Editing is where you want to do something to the images eg brighten, crop etc.
 
Ok, thank you.
I do feel a bit embarrassed having to post such daft questions :rolleyes:
I suppose Affinity Photo will be my editor then.
So do you think Digikam is a good bet for managing? I'm not sure how it works yet, but have a YouTube on it.

You don't have to use any software to manage your files, just create folders in a way that suits you, but do get the photos onto the pc and back them up

At the very least you need to be able to add key words to individual images so as to be easily find them later.

I did all that for a while, now I dont bother, never had any problem finding things, though it does make it a lot quicker when I can't remember what camera I used, and would probably be more useful if I took more photos (average around 400 a month, so not a lot)

It makes it a lot easier to gather images from lots of different files and sets. If you are looking for dogs at sunset for instance. Every shot you have ever taken that meets that criteria will be displayed instantly. No hunting no memorising
