As for Affinity Photo, it is used to perform advanced picture retouching of each picture separately. Choose Lightroom if you work with RAW files since it is perfect for cropping the image and correcting colors and shadows. However, if your pictures require image retouching, Affinity is the best variant, actually. Fortunately, there is a way to utilize the Lightroom Develop Presets you have in programs such as Affinity Photo or DaVinci Resolve, or Photoshop using LUTs, extending the usefulness of the presets you love and depend on, and here’s how. Once you've set this up, you can send a photo to Affinity photo at any time by right (control) clicking on an image and choosing Edit In Affinity Photo. This will then open a dialog that will ask if you want to Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments, Edit a Copy or Edit the Original.
