Here’s a quick rundown of why I like Serif Affinity Photo 1.6 so much.

You can see my full review over at Photography Blog and I would expect to see a few more Highly Recommended reviews of Affinity Photo v1.6 in the coming weeks. I’d happily pay another £50 should Serif launch such a software. The missing link for Serif taking a bigger bite out of Adobe’s lion share is there is no cataloguing software, like Adobe Lightroom CC or Bridge CC. The only real difference is that Affinity Photo has five workspaces called Personas, each with their own set of tools, while Photoshop has a single editing workspace and an accompanying raw editor. A switchover from one to the other is quite painless. Heck, you’d be hard-pressed to find something that Photoshop offers that you can’t find in Affinity Photo.Īffinity Photo even looks like Photoshop.

When it comes to powerful photo editing software that is not chained to a subscription service, Serif Affinity Photo is up there with the best of them. Well, I’ve been using the latest version (1.6) of the software since its launch and are happy to say that Adobe should start to sweat a little. Free upgrades were meant to be a plus point for subscription services, so hats off to Serif for looking after existing users at no extra cost.īeing low cost is all very well, but people will ask if Affinity Photo is any good. That price is less than half the price of a year subscription to Adobe Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.įor those that have bought an older version of Affinity Photo, the latest one comes free. What is even more impressive is that the software costs a bargain one-off fee under £50. The software has also been developed for iPad and for Windows too. Compatibility with the latest raw files is added regularly.
In a relatively short space of time the software is now its sixth iteration, with version 1.6 launched earlier this month. You’ll probably know Serif more for its Windows-based editing software PhotoPlus X, but more recently Serif delved into Mac with Affinity Photo, creating what I think is a legitimate alternative to Adobe Photoshop.
