Serif did not mention how long it would offer this discount. This Universal License also allows contains Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Designer 2, and Affinity Publisher 2 for use on Mac, PC, and iPad together for a single all-inclusive amount.Īt launch, this bundle is discounted by 40%, making the whole Universal License package $100 with no subscription. It is also available as part of a three-software bundle with Publisher 2 and Designer 2 for $170 with a Universal License. Serif Affinity Photo 2 can be purchased standalone for $70 (currently discounted to $41) and $20 for the iPad app (currently discounted to $12). Finally, a new compact mode for the layers and brush panel allows editors to keep these panels open while maximizing document real estate. iPadOS 16 users will also get the added benefit of the new virtual memory swap which dramatically increases performance on very large documents.Īdditionally, all Serif Affinity apps have a new command controller radial menu that gives quick access to common modifiers on all tools and a quick menu, which gives fast access to clipboard options and nine customizable shortcut operations with a three finger swipe. This format is also supported by some HDR displays.Īffinity Photo 2 is also supported on iPad, optimized to take advantage of the increased memory limits that have been available since iPadOS 15.
Hue Range allows editors to create a mask based on a specific color in an image, which they can apply adjustments, effects, or just paint on the automatically generated mask for their chosen hue.įinally, Affinity Photo 2 now supports JPEG XL, which lets editors export to a format that is growing in support - particularly on web browsers - for wide color gamut and HDR images.
It allows editors to build multiple non-destructive workflows which update automatically based on the properties of the underlying image. Much of what Serif has added to Affinity Photo 2 is based on the idea of non-destructive edits, and Live Masks continues that. The company says it is great as a standalone feature for texture artists, but also allows the editing of lighting layers generated from 3D rendering software. While this feature might not be particularly useful to photographers, Affinity Photo 2 has added what Serif calls Normals Adjustment, which allows editors to change lighting information that exists on existing normal maps. Serif says it is highly effective for mock-up work, where users might place document files and composite them onto surfaces such as book or magazine pages. Live Mesh Warp allows editors to apply a non-destructive warp to an image or file so that it can be distorted to match the surface of an underlying template.
