Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
There’s no task too big—or too small—for this robust photo editor. If you want to add some cool filters, you can. If you want to adjust the exposure, add some saturation, and make it ’gram-worthy, you can do that too. And if you’d rather draw than edit? You’re in luck. Affinity Photo packs support for Apple Pencil and an incredible array of basic and advanced illustration tools. Create unlimited layers, choose from an unsurprisingly enormous selection of brushes, and even create your own brushes—complete with jitter, spacing, and flow. (Sounds like dancing, right?)
Powerful and the right price
I got my new iPad and went to download v1 and found it missing. That wasn’t the promise when I purchased, but it has been like 7 years, I’m not heartbroken over it, it’s downright inexpensive for what it does. Initial experience. Step one, import raw = crash. Step 2, import same raw, works. So that’s the second unimpressive experience, but that’s not missing capability, that’s just an incoming update. I can verify that Lightroom modern apps on pc have been a crashy mess in the past year, this is not uncommon in my experience. One thing I will point out is that Lightroom recovered to my last editing step when I reopened, while affinity acted like it never heard of me or my image…something for the devs to think about in crash handling. The nondestructive raw editing is the most exciting feature for me. All I really do is cropping and Lightroom-like tasks, and this enables me to accomplish that, on iPad, quickly, while mobile, effectively, for little money, with added bonuses of photoshop capabilities, but without the very very sketchy Adobe subscription practices. Try cancelling an Adobe subscription and you’ll see what I mean, you might even have to pay to cancel…low class, won’t participate in that. Thanks Affinity.
Absolutely powerful and intuitive
I love Affinity and now version 2 (with noticeably improved items such as displacement map). I notice some persons giving it low scores because they are comparing the interface to photoshop and saying it is too different; they had gotten used to using Adobe for quite some time. If taken on it’s own, Affinity is actually quite intuitive. It isn’t necessarily fair to compare the two. Just as if someone had gotten used to another interface and switched to Adobe they would find it quite a bit of a learning curve.
I see persons taking off stars because they had to pay for v2. For years Affinity v1 has given free updates and changes. Now that they have revamped significantly, it isn’t unreasonable to pay for that (an amount that still works out to less than a third of a year’s subscription of Adobe). Keep in mind that v1 still exists.
What I find most impressive is have a fully functional and exceptionally powerful photo editing tool for iPad, not a pared/stripped down version. Great job Affinity!
