Features
The standout choice for professionals
With a huge toolset specifically engineered for creative and photography professionals, whether you are editing and retouching images, or creating full-blown multi-layered compositions, it has all the power and performance you will ever need.
Professional corrections & adjustments
Correct and enhance images with Levels, Curves, Black and White, White Balance, HSL, Shadows and Highlights, plus over a dozen other non-destructive adjustments which preview instantly and can be edited at any time. Affinity Photo also provides advanced lens corrections and best-in-class noise reduction so you have full control to really bring out the best in any image.
Complete retouching tools
Whether you want to make quick corrections, or spend time on a detailed retouch, Affinity Photo has you covered. Alongside the usual dodge, burn, clone, patch, blemish, and red eye tools you'll also find an almost magical inpainting brush, frequency separation capability, and a full set of liquefy features built-in.
Dedicated RAW workspace
Develop camera RAW files in a dedicated workspace with all the precise adjustments and corrections you need in an unbounded linear color space.
Focus Merge
Expertly merge multiple images taken at different focal distances for greater depth of field. Affinity Photo takes care of the alignment and completes a detailed analysis to determine the best areas of each image to use.
Recordable Macros
Macros enable you to record an unlimited number of actions which you can save and replay whenever you like. You can even play macros as part of a batch process, making previously laborious tasks possible in a few clicks.
What's New
Affinity 2.6 brings some very exciting updates and improvements to the software, including our very first Machine Learning features.
Please note that the two new features which use Machine Learning models (Object Selection Tool and Select Subject) are optional and require downloading of the relevant models for them to work. These are installed as pre-trained models and they do not use any of your own data for further training. Furthermore, these operations all work 'on device' meaning none of your data leaves your device at any time.
Object Selection Tool
Speed up your editing process by using this new Machine Learning tool that automatically selects objects of your choosing in an image. For information on where to find this new tool and how to download and use it, please refer to the online help listings for desktop or iPad.
Select Subject
This new Machine Learning feature analyses your image and selects what it considers to be the main subject of the scene. The operation can be recorded as a Macro to aid setting up foreground/background retouching workflows. For information on where to find this feature and how to download and use it, please refer to the online help listings for desktop or iPad.
Color Picker Improvements
Previously when you used the Color Picker available from the Color or Stroke Panel it would first add the picked color to the well next to the picker, and then you would be required to apply the color manually by clicking the well.
We are now changing this to automatically apply the picked color to the selected object, so you're no longer required to select the color well.
If you would prefer not to apply the selected color (i.e. the previous behavior), simply hold down Alt or ⌥ whilst picking the color on Windows or Mac, or by using the command controller on iPad.
The SerifLabs RAW engine has now been updated to include additional RAW formats, and we have also updated the Lens Recognition database.
