Affinity Photo

Affinity Photo is a raster graphics editor developed by Serif (now owned by Canva) for professional photo editing, retouching, and compositing. Originally sold as a one-time purchase alternative to Adobe Photoshop, Affinity became completely free in 2025 following Canva's acquisition of Serif. The application supports RAW editing, HDR merge, focus stacking, and non-destructive adjustment layers.
