![]() Hot pixel removal is now automatically performed by the Serif Labs engine.The denoise algorithm has been rewritten.Reimplemented support for XTrans sensors.The RAW processing engine in Photo has been rewritten-producing better results and improved performance. ![]() All brush tools now support left and right arrow keys for on the fly nozzle rotation.In 1.7, the nozzle choice has a dynamic controller and ramp for greater control. Brushes with multiple nozzle textures have always chosen the nozzle at random.Wet edges and accumulation are now available on colour brushes and brushes with HSL variance.We have more symmetry features on the way-so stay tuned during the beta process. Symmetry (up to 32-way) is now supported-including on-canvas controls and optional mirroring.You can control when the sub-brushes are drawn and how they blend with the main brush. Each sub-brush has a fully separate and customisable set of dynamics. This exciting feature allows any brush to have a list of other brushes attached which will draw at the same time. Affinity Photo 1.7 introduces a new sub-brush mechanism, developed in conjunction with Paolo Limoncelli from DAUB® Brushes.Here’s some of the new things you can look forward to: Brushes The next update to Affinity Photo 1.7 for Mac and Windows isn’t too far away, and if you fancy taking part in the beta, and own Affinity Photo on desktop already, you can download it now. You can download both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer from the Mac App Store today.With version 1.7 of Affinity Photo in the pipeline, the beta for the next update is now available for you to take for a spin… New customers can get the full versions for a 20% discount, making the desktop apps $39.99 and the iPad apps $15.99 for a limited time. The 1.7 update is free for existing Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer customers. Improvements to almost all vector tools, including lasso selection of modes, the pencil tool adding a sculpt mode, a new point transform tool as well as huge improvements to guides, grids and snapping.Arrowheads have been added to the stroke panel too. Vector shapes can now possess an unlimited number of strokes and fills, with complete freedom to interleave different attributes and control how they are blended together.New isometric controls allowing you to work directly on any isometric plane – or fit existing elements to a plane with a single click.Batch processing is improved, a new assets panel is available for quick drag and drop of commonly used elements, and the layers panel has had a complete overhaul.Rewritten brush engine adding all-new multi-brushes, a symmetry mode (up to 32-way) and on-the-fly nozzle rotation with shortcut keys.Much improved RAW processing engine offering significantly faster loading of files, a new demosaicing algorithm, more effective noise reduction, hot pixel removal and wide colour space development.In addition, the iPad apps receive further performance optimizations. Serif specifically notes that the iPad mini, with its support for Apple Pencil, results in a great experience with the refreshed UI. Of course, this means that the new updates will work nicely with Apple’s upcoming Pro Display XDR announced at WWDC 2019.Īlthough today’s update is Mac-centric, iPad users also receive a noteworthy update in the form of a refreshed, compact UI that provides more working real estate and a better experience on smaller iPad hardware. Using an HDR monitor allows photographers to see new levels of the detail captured in RAW files, and lets designers push color intensity in graphics projects. This is perfect for Mac users wielding eGPUs who wish to take advantage of the extra desktop power provided by such a setup.Īdditionally, Affinity Photo and Designer now come with full support for HDR / EDR displays. Not only is your Mac’s internal discrete GPU supported, but version 1.7 includes support for multiple GPUs. Serif says that the enhancements can result in up to 10 times faster performance than before. The new performance-focused update allows users to take full advantage of the Mac’s discrete GPU, translating into performance gains for raster layer and brush operations. Both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer 1.7 are available for download on the Mac App Store today. The updates are headlined by enhanced GPU compute acceleration, HDR monitor support, and a new memory management system. Today Serif, creator of Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, has released version 1.7 of its popular illustration and photo editing apps on Mac.
