8/13/2023 0 Comments Affinity photo mac vs ipad![]() Let’s talk about the interface for a bit because while it’s familiar if you’re already using Affinity Photo for Mac or Windows, because it’s on iPad it’s a bit different. You can import images from Apple Photos (whether they’re synced or not) and from iCloud, Dropbox Google Drive, OneDrive and whatever other cloud services you’re subscribed to on your iPad. How to Get to Your ImagesĪffinity Photo for iPad is integrated with cloud storage solutions, which means you can easily open files on your iPad that you’ve created on your Mac and vice versa. I haven’t had a lot of time with it, but I’ll be doing a video tutorial for ScreenCasts Online this month, so expect to hear more about what I learn over time. Because of it’s capabilities, the interface can be a bit daunting, but hopefully I can demystify some of it for you. There’s a whole ‘nother panel for creating your own textures.įrom complex pixel image manipulation for the professional to the simplest image adjustments for the novice, Affinity Photo is a fantastic tool. By that they mean the shape of the curve for how you apply pressure, or tilt of your stylus, the angle, rotation and more. You can control the dynamics of the brush. But then there’s a More button that has crazy options. Once you select a brush, you can change width, opacity, flow hardness, and color. I didn’t do an exhaustive test, but inside brushes I found tons of them sorted into painting, drawing, spray paint, texture, effects, and a lot of different DAUB options, whatever those are. If you’re an artist, you can create an entirely new image and work with a myriad of brushes and fills and more. If you have a fabulous photo of a sunset but then you notice there’s a power line running through it, you can use the inpaint tool to remove it with Affinity Photo. If you like to get tricky with your images, like say changing the color of something in a photo, or compositing two images like adding a different sky to an image, Affinity Photo is all over that. With the ability to create adjustment layers for hue, lightness and saturation, applied across a gradient, or to add a bit of sharpening, or to denoise a night sky, Affinity Photo can do all of that and more. If you’re looking for a way to enhance your digital photos with more refinements than come with Apple Photos, Affinity Photo is a great option. Affinity Photo for iPad is only $20 (right now) so it seems like a good time to get you introduced to it.īefore I get into the specifics of how the iPad app works, let me describe who I think Affinity Photo can be good for. The folks at Serif say that the code base for iPad is the same as it is for Windows and Mac, so we’ll get feature enhancements across the board. The ability to work with my photos on an iPad with Pencil has been a glorious dream. I’ve been anticipating this for a long time. It’s a fantastic image editor for Mac and PC from Serif that only costs $50 one time (on sale right now for $40).īut the big news that was just announced during WWDC is that Affinity Photo is now also available for iPad. You may have heard me mention that 8 or 12 times before. I’m a huge fan of the Mac application Affinity Photo.
