I have a 2011 iMac so some people might have a different experience but here is my unscientific assessment of each product so far: Thus far I've downloaded trial copies of ON1, Luminar, Photo Supreme, NeoFinder, and Capture One Media Pro. I'm Ok with spending money if the product is stable, well-supported, and at least seems like it will be around for a while. I looked at digiKam but it seemed to be a bit buggy. I at least work across different platforms and am a huge fan of a common file structure across devices, common file formats and being able to access and edit as much as possible regardless of the end device. I think a modern DAM should be something like Dropbox with a variety of viewing/editing plugins for the various file formats in question. Together with a somehow matured project file structure, I tend to manage and find what I need without huge efforts. Since I don’t have that, I just use Explorer/Finder, and sometimes Bridge. A really good DAM would have to play nice with all of these, have tags, metadata and also translate/sync platform specific attributes. I work with layout files as Indesign and Affinity documents, PDFs, use occasionally some old Illustrator files, more and more 3D object and scene formats, image sequences and movie files. All files get synced across devices and the cloud, which is really useful IMO.īut then we said assets, and that includes more than just photos for me. It fits my needs, as I shoot with three different cameras and can import AND edit images stright on my iPhone, iPad or workstation. For Photos I still rely on Lightroom, now in the CC flavour.
