Affinity Photo Tools

The complete feature list and system requirements for Affinity Photo show you why it’s the first choice of thousands of creatives around the world. Optimised for Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book (including support for detachable screen) Surface Studio with Surface Pen/Surface Dial; Gesture, Pen, and Touch Screen input support. Affinity Photo now includes lens-profile-based corrections like those found in many apps, including ACDSee, DxO Optics Pro, and PhotoDirector. The tool did readjust the geometry on photos. Affinity Photo has long been a strong competitor to Adobe Photoshop. With its new version 1.9 update, Affinity Photo is an even stronger photo editing application. Available for macOS, Windows and iPad, Affinity Photo 1.9 adds many new features and promises improved performance.

Integration with your Affinity app

After restarting the app, turning the dial while the Move Tool is selected will rotate the document in the view. Click the dial to reset the document's orientation.

With one of the Pixel, Erase or various other pixel-based brush tools selected, click Surface Dial to choose which attribute (brush width, accumulation, flow, and hardness) is adjusted by rotating the Dial. These tools display a large graphical overlay that provides clear feedback.

If a tool does not provide predefined Surface Dial gestures, you can assign choices in Windows' Settings app. Your custom commands are available from an on-screen menu, which appears when you press and hold down on the Dial.

Some commands in your Affinity app do not have keyboard shortcuts assigned to them by default. You will need to give them shortcuts in the app's Keyboard Shortcuts preferences before configuring Surface Dial to invoke them.

Example custom commands for Surface Dial in Affinity apps

Below are examples of how you might use Surface Dial in your workflow to control brush size and layer order. The walkthroughs at the bottom of this page explain how to implement these and other personalizations.

In the left example above, rotating the Dial moves the current layer back or forward progressively in the layer stack, while clicking it sends the layer all the way to the back.

In the right example, rotating the Dial adjusts brush size (as long as the appropriate tool is selected). The Click shortcut toggles the Brushes Panel; normally there is no keyboard shortcut assigned to this action, so you'll need to set the same key combination in your Affinity app's preferences.

  PHOTO EDITING

  By Nathan Segal

  These days, it’s likely you spend more time managing and editing digital photos than you did taking the shots.

  Getting the most out of your photos can be a complex and time-consuming task. Which means that it’s especially important that you be efficient and comfortable using your imaging application.

  In this comparison, we’ll take a quick look at the steps needed for common photo-manipulation tasks in three popular editors: Affinity Photo, Corel PaintShop Pro 2020, and GIMP. (Note: I reviewed Affinity Photo in the 2020-04-06 AskWoody Plus Newsletter.) The tasks include customizing the workspace, cropping, image straightening, using layers for blending and image effects, image retouching, adding Text, color correction, removing an image from the background, and RAW-image processing. Let’s get started.
