When I bought the X-E1 a few years back I also had a new Macbook, and I
bought Affinity Photo for it. I had a play at raw processing but for
what I was doing, the JPEGs out of the camera were fine, all I seemed to
need was cropping, straightening, maybe a touch of fill light, and
Picasa does all that easily. (I use Picasa for managing my photo files
anyway).

Step forward a few years, I have some X-T3 raw images that need
tweaking, but Affinity won't open them. Evidently the T3 format is "too
new". A bit disappointing.

Never mind, download X Raw Studio and see what it will do. I have my
files for processing on a NAS drive so that I can easily access them
from PC or Mac. But no, X Raw Studio has no "Network" option in the file
manager, I can only open the physical drives on the PC.

Too many software developers seem not to live in the real world.

I don't really want to do much PP, maybe just a bit on the occasional
(and rare) really good shot. Can't justify PS or LR costs or learning
curve. At least Affinity was relatively cheap.
