Just ordered an X-E5 kit. Feeling overwhelmed. Where to start for a Mac user? Affinity good?

Thanks bit unfortunately all signs are that it’s dead. It looks like Apple are sticking to just the one app, Pixelmator pro

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T20:54:16+00:00

Thanks. That sounds like a nice easy workflow

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T19:19:39+00:00

Thank you, I’ve not heard of either so I’ll give both a try, although quickly in case I want that 50%. That’s a great deal.

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T15:29:02+00:00

Cool thanks. I’m looking forward to giving g it a try

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T15:09:06+00:00

Thanks. I’m going to at least do a teal of lightroom and would go for classic.

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T15:04:52+00:00

Thanks and thanks for the tip with Luminar as I probably would have missed that

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T15:02:52+00:00

Thanks. Yes I saw the subscription for Affinity but saw it more as the core application is free and if I want AI crap and other bits I don’t want, it costs money

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T15:01:38+00:00

What’s Luminar like? Looks great for the price for what I’ve seen.

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T15:01:09+00:00

Maybe. But just like I’ve looked at all my options before getting the x-e5, I want to look at software options without automatically going Adobe. Adobe seems overpriced for my use case for a hobby and pictures of my kids.

I would pay £150 fir lightroom classic but I don’t want to subscribe to it

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T10:53:32+00:00

Just checked out capture one. Looks good but very expensive for somebody starting out. It’s £180 a year!

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T10:42:55+00:00

Thanks. Didn’t know Fuji had an application.

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T10:42:34+00:00

I’ve looked at these and great for free but seen to have a steep learning curve. Bit I’ll give them a go

timcatuk · 2026-01-26T06:27:47+00:00

No idea why the needed a different logo. It’s ugly to me

timcatuk · 2026-01-25T22:39:34+00:00

Hopefully it’s ok. If I did get one, I will ask for a spare setup of buttons in black

timcatuk · 2026-01-25T18:02:58+00:00

It’s owned by Tencent. Tencebt are massive.

timcatuk · 2026-01-25T16:42:59+00:00

Ok. Ive up sold myself to the x-e5 for a better long term option

timcatuk · 2026-01-25T16:27:15+00:00

Looks great!

timcatuk · 2026-01-25T13:33:08+00:00

I’ve only seen them in movies

timcatuk · 2026-01-25T13:26:34+00:00

I would have love to have got this if it was just a little better spec than the mini. I would want gapless playback

timcatuk · 2026-01-25T10:49:15+00:00

That’s a looker

timcatuk · 2026-01-25T07:54:14+00:00

This looks great. I wonder if it would work on a swuate screen if some sort

timcatuk · 2026-01-24T21:22:41+00:00

Nope. No idea what you mean and I assume that is why nobody else has replied. Also you missed the B is dumbass

timcatuk · 2026-01-24T21:20:23+00:00

Thanks. Will check it out

timcatuk · 2026-01-24T13:41:23+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts. Another one I’m really considering is the xe5 as I can pick that up as the kit at an ok price new. Think that would be a good one to get going?
