Specialized workspaces. Affinity Photo offers different interface modes tailored to specific tasks: Photo, Liquify, Develop, Export, and HDR. Each space provides tools and contextual panels relevant to the particular workflow, optimizing the editing process according to the type of work being done.
Advanced layers and masks. The layer system includes support for adjustment layers, fill layers, and raster image layers. Non-destructive layer masks allow hiding or revealing parts of an image without altering the original pixels, maintaining flexibility throughout the editing process.
Precise selection tools. Includes refined selection algorithms based on smart edge detection technology. These tools allow isolating complex objects with difficult edges like hair or textile fibers with a high degree of accuracy.
RAW processing engine. The RAW development module provides complete control over image parameters such as exposure, white balance, tone curves, and lens correction. It supports RAW formats from over 400 different cameras with 16-bit per channel processing.
Non-destructive filters and effects. Live filters allow applying effects like blur, distortion, or lighting without compromising the original image quality. These adjustments remain editable at any time during the work session.
Retouching and cloning tools. Includes content-aware healing brushes to remove imperfections, along with a cloning brush with alignment modes to duplicate image areas consistently.
Macros and automation system. Allows recording editing sequences as reusable macros that can be applied to multiple images. Macros can include logical conditions and variable adjustments to customize batch processing.
PSD format compatibility. Imports and exports Adobe Photoshop files with preservation of layers, blend modes, and layer effects. This compatibility facilitates integration into existing workflows.
HDR mode and panoramas. Combines multiple exposures into high dynamic range images or stitches photos to create high-resolution panoramas. The automatic alignment algorithm corrects discrepancies between shots.
Color management precision. Full support for ICC profiles, RGB, CMYK, and LAB color spaces. Allows working with color depths of 8, 16, and 32 bits per channel to maintain color integrity throughout the workflow.
Vector text tools. Implements advanced typography capabilities with control over kerning, leading, and character styles. Text remains editable as a vector object even after saving and reopening the document.
Graphics hardware integration. GPU acceleration for rendering operations and filter processing. Support for graphics tablets with pressure, tilt, and pen rotation recognition.

Affinity Photo was developed by Serif Europe Ltd, a British company founded in 1987 that initially specialized in affordable design software for Windows platforms. Development of Affinity Photo began in 2009 as a project to create a professional cross-platform software suite. The first version for macOS was released in July 2015, followed by a Windows version in November 2016. The application is primarily written in C++ with platform-specific components to optimize performance. The rendering engine utilizes technologies such as OpenGL and Metal to leverage hardware acceleration. The development team implemented proprietary algorithms for image processing, focusing on maintaining accuracy and speed even with high-resolution documents.
