Cross-platform editing

Such hassle-free cross-platform integration is a game changer, allowing you to start a project on one device and seamlessly continue on another without missing a beat.
Power at your fingertips
A suite of retouching tools can transform any image – from smoothing skin with frequency separation to removing unwanted objects with the Inpainting Brush.
Additionally, the dedicated Liquify workspace allows you to sculpt features precisely, while colour adjustments and black & white colourisation provide endless creative possibilities.
Creating stunning compositions has also never been easier. Affinity Photo 2 supports unlimited layers and a vast range of effects and live filters. These can be grouped, clipped, masked or blended to create intricate and beautiful results. With advanced selection tools like the Selection Brush and Magic Wand, the most precise selections are effortless – down to individual strands of hair.
This workflow is complemented with real-time adjustment layers, steady pan and zoom at maximum refresh rates and near-instant load times for large files.
This ensures that – in the fast-paced world of professional photography where speed and efficiency are paramount – Affinity Photo 2 can keep up with your creativity, no matter how complex your projects become.
Advanced RAW development
For photographers who shoot in Raw, Affinity Photo 2 provides end-to-end 32-bit quality, enabling you to take complete control over your images and enhance every detail. This powerful feature ensures your photos achieve their full potential with professional-grade quality.
