Well, I’ve been using the latest version (1.6) of the software since its launch and are happy to say that Adobe should start to sweat a little. Free upgrades were meant to be a plus point for subscription services, so hats off to Serif for looking after existing users at no extra cost.īeing low cost is all very well, but people will ask if Affinity Photo is any good. That price is less than half the price of a year subscription to Adobe Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.įor those that have bought an older version of Affinity Photo, the latest one comes free.

What is even more impressive is that the software costs a bargain one-off fee under £50. The software has also been developed for iPad and for Windows too. Compatibility with the latest raw files is added regularly. In a relatively short space of time the software is now its sixth iteration, with version 1.6 launched earlier this month. You’ll probably know Serif more for its Windows-based editing software PhotoPlus X, but more recently Serif delved into Mac with Affinity Photo, creating what I think is a legitimate alternative to Adobe Photoshop.
