There isn't even a panel showing drive locations such as DxO PhotoLab, Exposure, and PaintShop Pro have. Topaz Studio does not offer any photo organizing tools either.

It's more along the lines of Photoshop, Corel PaintShop Pro, and Topaz Studio-that is, it's intended for photo retouching image merging for panoramas, HDR, and focus stacking and drawing. That means there are no importing or organizing tools. Photo WorkflowĪffinity is not a workflow solution like ACDSee Ultimate, Skylum Luminar, Lightroom, CyberLink PhotoDirector, or Zoner Photo Studio. The main interface adapted well to my highish-DPI (QHD) monitor (which is more than can be said for some Adobe products). You can undo and redo actions up to the limit you set in Preferences, and a History panel with a slider lets you take your work back to earlier states. Affinity Photo supports a decent selection of keyboard shortcuts, but not much in the way of right-click context menus.

Unlike most photo apps, there is no full-screen view, though hitting Tab gets you almost there, hiding most interface elements. Another is the side-by-side and split views to show your image before and after edits. One Affinity Photo interface feature I approve of is that double-clicking a control slider sets it back to its original state. You can zoom with the mouse wheel plus Ctrl, and double-clicking switches you back to Fit view. You can customize the workspace, and Serif has now added the ability to save custom workspaces, as you can in Adobe Photoshop. A simple workspace reset option under the main View or Window menu would be preferable. I finally discovered the option way down at the bottom of a long flyout list from the View > Studio menu. Personas equate to workspaces, but I had a hard time resetting the workspace to the default after removing some panels. Panorama is another persona, but it's only visible when you're stitching multiple images. The default personas are Photo, Liquefy, Develop, Tone Mapping, and Export. As with Photoshop, the interface shows a toolbar row across the left side of the program window and an info panel to the right for things like Layers, Histogram, Swatches, Adjustment, Transform-25 modules in all, any of which you can undock.Ībove the main image view, there are buttons for five Personas-what most programs call modes. The interface is industry-standard very dark gray, but its many colorful icons are less understated than most of the photo editing apps of today.

There’s no upgrade pricing, but you can install the software on as many computers as you have Adobe limits Creative Cloud (such as Lightroom and Photoshop) applications to two machines. How Much Does Affinity Photo Cost?Īffinity Photo is available on the Mac App Store, from the Microsoft Store in Windows 10, and as a website download, for a one-time price of $49.99 (discounted to $24.99 at time of writing). Several of the program’s tools, too, fall short of Adobe's state-of-the-art software. It’s feature-packed and powerful, but some operations are still slow and the user interface still lacks some friendliness found in competitors. The latest version of this photo editing software adds hardware acceleration for improved performance on Windows, linked layers, astrophotography stacking, and custom interface presets. Serif’s low, non-subscription pricing is no doubt a factor for some users. The Affinity apps are also available for Windows, and the company is attempting to make inroads on Adobe's firm grip on the media and design software industry. Its Affinity line, which started with Mac-only apps in 2015, even garnered an Apple Mac App of the Year award that year.
