[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1936706, member: 83420"] Hi [USER=335450]@hempomatic[/USER] I recognise your situation only too well. In my earlier life, everything was RAW having been taken on expensive cameras (I am or was a Nikon advocate - personal preference). Along with Nikon; Pentax (now more or less gone); Canon; Fuji; Olympus and all the rest. What put them into the background were the digital cameras inbuilt to iPhones and also integrated into Nikon, Canon, et al, pocket cameras. So, I've been there, cherished the RAW imaging; but now a top class photo "machine" will give HiRes JPEG images. My advice, for what it's worth: stick with the high-end cameras, but discard RAW unless you're in the top professional crowd and earning a living from it. HiRes JPEG images are pretty damned good. In that case: Apple Photos plus Affinity (which can be integrated into Photos) will serve you well. Personal view, of course. Ian [/QUOTE]
