Serif Affinity Photo 1.8.1 Full

Serif has announced an update to the Affinity software suite, including the 1.8 Serif Affinity Photo update. Although not a major overhaul, the update brings some of the much-requested features and changes.

One of the most welcome changes in the Affinity 1.8 update is the addition of CR3 support. Canon users can now open images taken in Canon's latest Raw file format. The update also improves lens editing tools, including the ability to manually override manual correction and better functionality when correcting raw images taken with a fixed focal length lens. Serif has also added improved plugin support in Related Photos, including support for Nik Collection 2.5 from DxO.

Other updates include a new template function, a unified toolbar for macOS users, and an improved metadata processing that allows you to edit IPTC data and import XMP metadata files for batch editing. The iPad version of Affinity Photo also has customizable keyboard shortcuts, making it a better fit for the relevant desktop version of Photos.

Serif Affinity Photo 1.8.1 must be available as an update on desktop and mobile devices installed. To learn more or buy Related Photos, available on iPadOS, macOS and Windows devices, visit the Serif Oklahoma website.
