Award-winning Affinity Photo is celebrating its first birthday with a 20% discount in the Apple Mac App Store. It means that until 21 July, the professional image editing app for Mac costs just £29.99 /$39.99 / €39.99. That’s the only price customers pay – there’s no subscription. Affinity Photo has been chosen as Apple’s ‘Best App 2015,’ and ‘Best Imaging Software 2016’ by the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA). 

Live retouch tools work in real time and its speed means there’s no waiting to see your results. Nondestructive editing, raw processing and end-to-end color management are standard, so Affinity Photo has all the accuracy and quality necessary to make beautiful images spring to life.

Ash Hewson, managing director of Affinity Photo developer Serif, says, “We’re finding it hard to believe that Affinity Photo is a year old. It feels like no time at all since we were nervously launching it onto the Mac App Store, but the response has been phenomenal right from the start. As well as being the top selling photography app and the awards we’ve won, there’s been a fantastic, positive feedback from the professional photography community around the world.”

In the 12-month period since its launch, Serif has pushed out four updates to Affinity Photo including hundreds of improvements and some new features – all free to customers who’ve bought the app. They include image stitching in panoramas, live image stacks and Affinity extensions for Apple photos.

Affinity Photo and its sister app, Affinity Designer, deliver exactly what creative professionals need – high speed, sophisticated tools, pinpoint accuracy and painless compatibility, coupled with an attractive, modern look. Used alone or together, the fast, powerful, processes fit gracefully into workflow. Single file formats make for easy switching between disciplines, while a saveable shared history means you’re always working on your latest version, no matter what Affinity product you’re using.
