What’s New
Version 2.6.2
Free for all V2 customers, 2.6 brings some very exciting updates to Affinity Photo, including our very first Machine Learning features.
• Select Subject – this new Machine Learning feature analyses your image and selects what it considers to be the main subject of the scene
• Object Selection – speed up your editing process by using this new Machine Learning tool that automatically selects objects of your choosing in an image
• Updated Camera SerifLabs RAW Support – the SerifLabs RAW engine has now been updated to include additional RAW formats
• Updated Lens Correction – new cameras and lenses are now recognised by the Lens Recognition database
• Colour Picker improvements – when using the Colour Picker on the Colour Panel, your picked colour will be automatically applied to the selected object, so you’re no longer required to select the colour well
• Many more improvements and bug fixes
Please note: The Machine Learning features are optional and require downloading of the relevant models to work. It’s installed as a pre-trained model and doesn’t use any of your own data for further training / none of your data leaves your device at any time.
Ratings and Reviews
Affinity Photo 2 exceeds expectations
Affinity has created a stellar suite of apps. I use them almost daily for a small nonprofit trade advocacy organization. Affinity photo works for all my photo editing and enhancements. there are plenty of video tutorials out there to help with all aspects of using the app for non professionals, but even professionals will appreciate how robust Affinity Photo (and the entire suite) meets demand.
In a world where more and more app developers want you to subscribe to perpetual pay models, under the illusion of incentives for app improvement, they invariably get lazy and produce almost nothing over time. Yet the consumer still pays and pays and pays...
Affinity sticks to the traditional model that is better for consumers. You pay for the app, you use the app. The developer provides fixes and updates. When Affinity has something better to offer (in this case version 2), you buy an upgrade. I love this model and I love this app.
General Media Hobbist....
Serif wants the business of those who have some disposable income to purchase tools they're not using for a primary source of income so.....screw Adobe. I certainly don't even know a quarter of what this can do but what I do know is that it is intuitive for how many functions it has. In 2 hours I figured out how to manually adjust exposure/brightness ect, automatically adjust those, use a few blemish correction tools, crop, etc. Some of that time was also spent deciding which photos I was going to use from my shoot and I'm not new to Serif but experienced in photo editing. I've dabbled about a decade ago and that is on the generous side.
Frustrating Application for Photoshop Veterans
Arg, this application is frustrating. I was entranced by the chance to have a local copy of the design apps that appear to be like the A**** applications that I used in grfx desing and production.
Things that really frustrate me are that the app saves in it's own file format by default and then you have to go back and convert them to whatever file you need, jpg, pdf, png.. Trying to professionally color correct and repair photos is sooooo frustrating. Why can't I drop mutliple targets on Hi Lo areas for color correcting? I can only put "1" target down, come on... I just want to be able to access something from a menu (or keystroke), not have to go to the floating/docked palette and try to figure out what it all means. I should be able to go to a menu/edit/color and change a photo to cymk/rgb/grayscale/bw...I want this relationship to work. Surely you can make some things work better without risk of copyright infringement, there needs to be better UI/Workflow interface. Get a high-end user to sit down with the programmer and get some things improved. Please?!
