It’s proven to be versatile, fast, stable, and all encompassing – a disruptive piece if there ever was one in our field. But with Affinity Photo, Serif has managed to make true converts all within about a year, and even managed to be the Apple Mac Store App of The Year for 2015. On at this time £9.99 for the iPad version and £23.99 for the desktop Windows or Apple version.Serif has entered upon this whole arena an underdog, but of a Russell Crowe in Gladiator-esque way to date, Serif produces the only real Photoshop alternative in Affinity Photo.Īffinity Photo sort of emerged from the ashes of the Affinity Designer, an intuitive and discount version of Illustrator. And I was intrigued to see if a tablet based option using the Apple Pencil was a viable alternative for the sports photographer on location. For less than £20 pounds direct from the Apple App Store it looked to be a bit of a bargain to me.
So when Serif had a sale for the iPad version, in my mind I now had the graphics tablet and software combined in one neat package, so I took the plunge. I have been using the desktop version of AP for a few years to edit my motorsports photography combined with a graphics tablet. From time to time it’s worth evaluating other options especially when it comes to imaging software as the big brands are always improving their products.
Just like your choice of camera, most photographers will pick a brand due to loyalty which isn’t a bad thing but can get you in a rut. All of the pictures seen here have been edited with AP Desktop and iPad versions. For this report we will just look at AP and specifically the iPad version and how the sports photographer shooting.
There are other packages available including the free tool sets that came with your camera. In this report we are going to look at one of the leading photographic software packages for manipulating your images, Affinity Photo (AP).
