What this means is on a mobile device you’ll now have the ability to stitch panoramas, do focus stacking, portrait retouching, color grading, have full layer support, and so on.Īffinity is claiming there will be full bi-directional handoff between the mobile app and the desktop version, allowing for 16-bit sRGB manipulation and smooth 60fps panning and zooming, and full 32-bit HDR editing. You’ll see quickly that it is feature-rich with things like layers, stitching, healing brushes and liquifying tools, and so much more. This statement means a lot and suggests a lot.įor one, if you haven’t used Affinity Photo before, you should give it a try, as they have their free trial still available – though the purchase price is a flat $49 USD.
So what is it? Affinity Photo is coming to iPad, and before you roll your eyes, allow me a moment to explain why this is so significant, and to do that it must be said right off the bat that what Affinity is promising is the FULL featured desktop application, available on mobile. Granted, it’s currently only for Apple systems, but a Windows version is in the pipeline.Īll that said, their latest news could very well be bigger, and certainly speaks volumes about where our industry and tech is actually going – if you listen close. It’s proven to be versatile, fast, stable, and all encompassing – a disruptive piece if there ever was one in our field. But with Affinity Photo, Serif has managed to make true converts all within about a year, and even managed to be the Apple Mac Store App of The Year for 2015. Serif has entered upon this whole arena an underdog, but of a Russell Crowe in Gladiator-esque way to date, Serif produces the only real Photoshop alternative in Affinity Photo.Īffinity Photo sort of emerged from the ashes of the Affinity Designer, an intuitive and discount version of Illustrator.
