It’s a very advanced tool and something that is incredibly helpful for digital photographers and graphic artists.Īnother really nice tool within Affinity Photo is the Quick Mask tool. It’s compatible with all major camera file formats and offers photographers the ability to make professional adjustments, utilize histograms and scopes, and do advanced lens corrections. In addition to that, Affinity Photo has a dedicated built-in workspace for RAW file editing. It will open AND save PSD (Photoshop) files. Affinity Photo does allow for collaboration between apps. There are a lot of photo editing and design apps I’ve come across that are siloed and they don’t allow for any cross-platform or cross-application functionality. It’s a stable, nimble app built for professional-level users.
Affinity photo for mac full#
The app uses full 16-bit channel editing and is able open massive images without running out of memory. It only uses the system resources it needs. I’ve not had that problem with Affinity Photo. I’ve found myself having to wait until Photoshop finishes a task before working elsewhere in my computer. Over the years, Photoshop has become more and more of a memory hog.
Affinity photo for mac install#
To some, this may be a minor feature, but to users like me, who upgrade their Mac every couple of years and do a clean install of their system at least once a year, it’s an invaluable resource and saves you from a lot of headaches.Īffinity Photo is an incredibly system-efficient app, too. In addition to these backend features, the app is available in the Mac App Store, which means you can easily reload it after system restores and seamlessly complete app updates without the mess of digging out a registration code. And, the app comes with built-in iCloud Drive support. Plus, it supports regular, retina and multi-monitor set-ups. Affinity Photo is fully optimized for 64-bit and multi-core processors. It takes full advantage of all the latest OS X technologies and even has support for Force Touch trackpads. I will, however, give a high-level view of the app and talk about why I like it over Photoshop.įirst of all, I want to mention the app’s technical background.
Usually, I would begin an app review by talking about its features, but I could write an entire week’s worth of reviews for Affinity Photo and still not cover all of its options.
