[Leica] Anybody heard of Affinity!

[Mark Rabiner]

I do think the top photogs and serious amateurs who use Lightroom not just
as a starting point but as a finishing point on  all their image processing
are not the same people who honed all their images in Photoshop since the
early 1990's. To those photogs Photoshop is not such an easy thing to give
up for a contact sheet program with a bunch of image processing sliders
added on later.
