Affinity by Canva

The new Affinity provides a full set of professional tools within a single application, integrating photo editing with graphic design and page layout – and free to use.Edits are non-destructive by default, allowing for iterative workflows without permanently altering source images. Affinity supports real-time rendering, so changes to images, including filters and layer effects, are previewed instantly, even on high-resolution files. Affinity also includes standard professional features such as RAW processing, layer-based editing, blend modes, masking tools, and compatibility with common file formats, enabling easy integration into existing photography workflows. The single platform allows seamless hand-off of images for use in design or documents. Users who wish to do so can also access Canva’s powerful AI tools within Affinity.
