I am sure tech spec is easily available but my later point was arguing that (i) more people are using smartphones as cameras and (ii) the tech of those devices is zooming in improvements. Entice them early with software and they may well remain with it.Īpropos your PS - great for Apple users but won't help Android ones - which was my target-market argument. So tomorrow's professionals will have to come from smartphone photographers. ![]() Tony Northrup (in a You Tube video) argues that the consumer camera is dead. As a side note, much of the research money has gone into smartphone cameras, rather than other types they have improved quickly and may well continue so to do. I think the time is right to realise the enormous potential of these devices for high-end enthusiasts and some professional applications. ![]() I freely admit, I am pretty poor at taking good smartphone photographs but many youngsters are very good. However, there is potential for wedding photography, especially as the 28mm (?) focal length is improved upon by smartphone manufacturers. Axiomatically, I am thinking of artistic professionals rather than (say) product photographers. Mike Browne, the You Tube famed professional photographer, has shown some amazing images shot with smartphones. Thus, the top-level of photography with such devices is far higher than ever before. Though tomorrow's professionals may well be today's smartphone photographers (remember, some websites only accept images shot by smartphones). PS: I'm sure that iAP (iPad AP) will soon allow file transfer via iTunes so at that point the connection to windows is feasible as well (not as great as handoff might be when apple finally gets it done but good enough for many things) How likely is it that a smartphone image gets " high-level processing" (except the ones shown in apple commercial probably) The Affinity System is for professionals (or will be), not smartphone pictures " But by offering a programme to keep the image from first shooting to high-level processing - and maybe back to the device - within the Affinity ecosystem." (Damn! did that sound like an Apple reference?) It would also start to afford Serif's developers a better understanding of Android, should they wish to further Affinity's presence in the future. And it would enable through-put much smoother for Windows's Affinity users who also use Android. But, offering a programme to keep images, from shooting to high-level processing (and, maybe, back to the device) within Affinity's ecosystem, might encourage purchases by other people. Now, true, all this can be done with other apps. Perhaps something to tweak smartphone / table shot images within the shooting device something to facilitate the interchange-information of images from Android to PC something to smooth the path of photographs and images between the two platforms. This app could be lowish tech - ie very limited in scope. Fair enough.īut what about developing an Android "app" (programme to me) which would be able to link Android to Affinity Windows? (I am assuming Apple users mainly only use Apple). Perhaps developing full-scale Affinity for Android now is not sensible. ![]() Google's Android (which I use extensively, with Windows desktop machines too) is vast though and I would have thought some acknowledgement of this might be in Serif's best interests. Serif must take sensible business decisions. I cherish the firm, their products and their history and feel for their staff. I do not wish to suggest a strategy which would bankrupt Serif. Indeed, that is why I chose to use Serif from Page+ "1" - because it operated on Windows. I have always been the exception to all the users who embraced Apple. I do not like Apple - never have used in in many years as a designer and photographer. I appreciate R&D is vastly expensive that Android is far less homogeneous than Apple (and all the sub-points above).
