#Adobe bridge free trial download software

One area where it lacks is that I am unable to import large batches of raw files. I did not want to pay the $$$$$ subscription fee for newer versions so after looking around I settled on Affinity as my best alternative. I have used Adobe for years but last year I had to get rid of it because I upgraded my OS and CS5 would no longer run on my system. There's just nothing that allows an easy transfer from that. I still have and use LR6, because Serif still has a long way to go with their RAW developing, plus I have a lot of time invested in cataloging images in LR. I point this out because it hit a lot of photographers between the eyes when Adobe went to it's subscription model, and stopped the proprietary LR versions. Also I would suspect Serif's DAM would be using proprietary files, that would not be easily used by other apps. Even if Serif produced a DAM, what would you do with all those photos you've edited in LR? Most of the edits are maintained in their proprietary catalog file, not in the XMP sidecars.

A support for labeling would be nice (as macOS supports that natively) but not a deal-breaker.ģ0 yrs of Adobe, have you been using LR or just Bridge? If you use LR to manage your photos, you must have tens of thousands of photos you have edited/adjusted with LR. And as stated in a comment above, it would not need be a library to manage (I actually dislike those), but rather a clear file browser with the ability to preview, rename and sort files in appropriate folders. Asset management is an integral part of my workflow.

The lack of asset management software keeps me from switching from Adobe to Affinity (after nearly 30 years of photoshoppery).
