All you need to do is click the record button in the macro panel, perform the edits, then click the stop button and save it, give it a name, and choose a category (if you want to stay organized). When we had a go at recording our own macro, we found it to be an incredibly straightforward process and easy to navigate for a beginner.

Macros can be used to record specific editing tasks to automate your workflow and save a lot of time in your editing process. There’s even a Repeat Mesh Warp option in the filters menu, which is great if you’re using multiple layers and want to apply the same warp to all of them. They can be used to straighten horizons or any crooked lines in images or can be applied to portrait images to manipulate any body or face shapes. Overall this likely isn’t going to be a feature that’s heavily used for photo editing, particularly astrophotography editing, but it’s a very useful feature for warping and distorting images to create some really interesting effects. New hue range and luminance masks work very wellĪffinity Photo 2 now features a Live mesh warp tool, a feature that wasn’t included in V1.Macros offer a convenient, time-saving solution to automate your workflow.

We'd love to see some kind of library system in Affinity Photo 2, not only to make everything more organized within the software itself, but we think it would give Affinity an edge over Photoshop, its biggest rival. There are many different ways to organize your images in your own library - one of the ways we prefer is to have a main folder for the year, then split that year into four quarters, then within each quarter have another folder for the location/shoot. There's not much in the way of organization and cataloging in Affinity Photo 2, so you just import the photos you want to edit straight from your computer library.

If you are proficient in Photoshop then we think you'll get along with Affinity Photo 2 just fine. That said, there are plenty of guides and information in the software itself, plus a plethora of tutorials on Affinity's YouTube channel, so we found it simple enough to find the information we needed when we wanted to do something. Like with any software, there is a learning curve if you've not used it before. The Photo persona is where most of the editing is done and is similar to Photoshop's layout.

That said, Affinity does offer a 30-day free trial for those who want to try before they buy. We're not suggesting Affinity switches to a subscription basis, but offering users an option to pay the $69.99 split across a fixed number of payments may make the software more accessible to a lot of people. While $69.99 is affordable for such a powerful editing program, not everyone can afford to shell out $69.99 in one go, especially given the cost-of-living crisis and the rise in food & utility costs over the last few years.

There's also no option to pay for the license in monthly installments. However, there were 8 years between the 2014 V V2 release, with many updates in-between, so we think that $69.99 for potentially up to 8 years worth of the software is pretty good.

The disadvantage with subscription-free software is that you only pay for that specific version of the software, so in this instance, when V3 eventually comes out, you will have to pay to upgrade to that version from V2. And, if you upgrade from V1, they’re also running an offer where you’ll get 25% off when you upgrade. If you want the entire Affinity collection known as V2 (which includes software Photo, Publisher and Designer), you can purchase the universal license for $169.99/£169.99 and get all the apps on all the platforms.

At the time of writing, you can purchase Affinity Photo 2 for Mac or Windows for $69.99/£69.99, and it’s also available on the iPad for $19.99/£19.99.
