“Whether it’s quick corrections on the fly, perfecting your work with some delicate retouching, or losing yourself in complex art with hundreds of layers, Affinity Photo for iPad has you covered. Born to work perfectly with the latest iPad and Apple Pencil technology, its power and performance are unmatched in portable photo editing apps”
Managing Director of Affinity Photo developer Serif, Ashley Hewson, says: “Reviewers and customers told us Affinity Photo for iPad was a truly revolutionary product when we launched on-stage during Apple’s WWDC keynote last year. “For the first time it gave photographers, artists, editors and retouchers a full professional mobile workflow with all the features you’d expect, on the go.”
