The web-based design platform Canva has acquired Affinity, a creative software suite that includes Affinity Photo, an app similar to Photoshop that is made for professional photographers.
Serif has released its latest 1.10 update to its image editor suite, Affinity Photo, alongside Affinity Designer and Publisher, which claims to bring "superpowered performance" with a completely re-engineered architecture.
Although Adobe Photoshop has become known as the industry's leading post-processing software with its powerful non-destructive editing tools, it is by far not the only option available out there.
Serif has launched its Version 1.9 update of the Affinity suite of apps, which includes the Photoshop competitor Affinity Photo. This free update brings multiple enhancements, including live liquify, RAW improvements, and GPU acceleration for Windows machines.
Portrait and headshot photographer Ivan Weiss recently created a helpful tutorial that walks you through his entire portrait editing process in the popular Adobe alternative Affinity Photo. If you've been wanting to give Affinity a shot, this is a phenomenal resource.
Not be outdone by Adobe—who is currently giving everyone 2 months of Creative Cloud for free—Serif is offering prospective users 3 months of free access to Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher, after which you can buy the software at a steep discount if you so choose.
Fan's of the Nik Collection plugin suite—formerly owned by Google, currently owned by DxO—got a new update today. With the Nik Collection 2.5, DxO has added five new film simulations to Color Efex Pro 4, as well as full compatibility for users of the popular program Affinity Photo.
Back in 2015, we saw the launch of Affinity Photo, a sleek, lightweight, and powerful alternative to Adobe Photoshop for doing professional edits on photos. Originally released for Mac, it launched for Windows at the end of 2016. Now it seems like there's more big news on the horizon: a possible Lightroom competitor.
If RAW photography coming to iOS wasn't enough exciting news for you today, get this: the highly-regarded pro photo editing app Affinity Photo is coming to the iPad.
Affinity Photo is a new program that was launched today by the England-based software company Serif. It's designed to be a powerful alternative to Adobe Photoshop for professional photographers and retouchers who work on a Mac.
Serif touts the product as "the fastest, smoothest, most precise, professional image editing software for Mac."
