iPadOS 16 users will also get the added benefit of the new virtual memory swap which dramatically increases performance on very large documents.Īdditionally, all Serif Affinity apps have a new command controller radial menu that gives quick access to common modifiers on all tools and a quick menu, which gives fast access to clipboard options and nine customizable shortcut operations with a three finger swipe. This format is also supported by some HDR displays.Īffinity Photo 2 is also supported on iPad, optimized to take advantage of the increased memory limits that have been available since iPadOS 15.
Hue Range allows editors to create a mask based on a specific color in an image, which they can apply adjustments, effects, or just paint on the automatically generated mask for their chosen hue.įinally, Affinity Photo 2 now supports JPEG XL, which lets editors export to a format that is growing in support - particularly on web browsers - for wide color gamut and HDR images. It allows editors to build multiple non-destructive workflows which update automatically based on the properties of the underlying image.
Much of what Serif has added to Affinity Photo 2 is based on the idea of non-destructive edits, and Live Masks continues that. The company says it is great as a standalone feature for texture artists, but also allows the editing of lighting layers generated from 3D rendering software.
While this feature might not be particularly useful to photographers, Affinity Photo 2 has added what Serif calls Normals Adjustment, which allows editors to change lighting information that exists on existing normal maps. Serif says it is highly effective for mock-up work, where users might place document files and composite them onto surfaces such as book or magazine pages. Live Mesh Warp allows editors to apply a non-destructive warp to an image or file so that it can be distorted to match the surface of an underlying template.
