If you like to get tricky with your images, like say changing the color of something in a photo, or compositing two images like adding a different sky to an image, Affinity Photo is all over that. With the ability to create adjustment layers for hue, lightness and saturation, applied across a gradient, or to add a bit of sharpening, or to denoise a night sky, Affinity Photo can do all of that and more. If you’re looking for a way to enhance your digital photos with more refinements than come with Apple Photos, Affinity Photo is a great option. Affinity Photo for iPad is only $20 (right now) so it seems like a good time to get you introduced to it.īefore I get into the specifics of how the iPad app works, let me describe who I think Affinity Photo can be good for. The folks at Serif say that the code base for iPad is the same as it is for Windows and Mac, so we’ll get feature enhancements across the board. The ability to work with my photos on an iPad with Pencil has been a glorious dream. I’ve been anticipating this for a long time. It’s a fantastic image editor for Mac and PC from Serif that only costs $50 one time (on sale right now for $40).īut the big news that was just announced during WWDC is that Affinity Photo is now also available for iPad. You may have heard me mention that 8 or 12 times before. I’m a huge fan of the Mac application Affinity Photo.
