Affinity Photo App for iPad Gets Updated With Numerous Improvements

The popular Affinity Photo app for iPad has been updated with numerous improvements including brush nozzle base texture mode, a new undo/redo gesture, drag modifiers, and much more.

Affinity Photo is the first fully featured, truly professional photo editing tool for iPad - built from exactly the same back-end as our award-winning desktop version and fully optimised to harness the power of iPad’s hardware and touch capabilities. Photo for iPad offers an incredibly fast, powerful and immersive experience whether you are at home, in the studio, or on the move. With meticulous attention to detail each tool, panel and control has been completely reimagined for touch. All rendering, adjustments, brushes and filters have been fully hardware accelerated using Metal. The result is an all-new way to interact with your images, with performance you will find hard to believe.
