What's new

Free for all V2 customers, 2.6 brings some very exciting updates to Affinity Photo, including our very first Machine Learning features.

• Select Subject – this new Machine Learning feature analyses your image and selects what it considers to be the main subject of the scene

• Object Selection – speed up your editing process by using this new Machine Learning tool that automatically selects objects of your choosing in an image

• Updated Camera SerifLabs RAW Support – the SerifLabs RAW engine has now been updated to include additional RAW formats

• Updated Lens Correction – new cameras and lenses are now recognized by the Lens Recognition database

• Color Picker improvements – when using the Color Picker on the Color Panel, your picked color will be automatically applied to the selected object, so you’re no longer required to select the color well

• Many more improvements and bug fixes

Please note: The Machine Learning features are optional and require downloading of the relevant models to work. It’s installed as a pre-trained model and doesn’t use any of your own data for further training / none of your data leaves your device at any time.
