![]() ![]() Image via Affinityīut after years of wanting to dump Adobe Photoshop, I haven’t been able to do it. The fact is, Affinity Photo is good enough for the kind of work that I do, including serious compositing and manipulation of images. ![]() This is not the place for that comparison. In many ways, it’s better than Adobe Photoshop… and in other ways, Photoshop is the more advanced program. Affinity Photo is one of the best Photo Editing apps on the market, and it just keeps getting better. I was an early adopter of Affinity Photo, and I purchased all of the Affinity apps as they were released for Windows. There’s new compound mask functionality, live mesh warp, and improvements to the brush engine.Īll of the Apps have interface and performance updates, and improvements for working between apps. These include color range, band pass, and luminosity. This is important for two reasons: the obvious fact that it’s helpful to be able to go back and make changes to your RAW edits, but also the fact that this is a big, necessary step in developing an app like Lightroom/On1 Photo RAW/ACDSee that can perform as a digital asset manager for Affinity with previews of changes made to RAW files.įurther new additions are primarily in selection and masking: there are now LIVE masks that adapt to changes made below them. The most important development in Affinity Photo is Non-Destructive RAW Editing. Perhaps more interesting, you can now get an Affinity Universal License: $99 (for now 1 After the introductory period, it will be $169) will get you all three applications, forever. They’re substantial updates, and they add a version of Publisher for iPad. This morning, Affinity announced the release of their V2 updates to Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher. And as I browsed video-related websites, there was speculation of a new Affinity Video Editing app. Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer have become incredibly popular alternatives to Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, respectively, but many photographers have been hesitant to depart the Adobe ecosystem (with their repellent subscription-only model) because Affinity has not offered an alternative to Adobe Lightroom, or indeed, to the resource manager Adobe Bridge.Īnd for the past week, I’ve been more excited about Affinity’s product announcement than I have for any photography related announcement in years, with the hope that Affinity’s answer to Lightroom would be arriving. For the past week, Affinity has been teasing a big announcement.
