Affinity Photo lead developer Andy Somerfield has posted an intriguing preview screenshot of new 3D texturing features within Serif’s popular image-editing software.
The image, which was posted in a thread on the Affinity forums on features for games artists, shows an OBJ file displayed in a new Model panel within the interface, and the UV unwrapped texture in the viewport.
According to Somerfield, both the diffuse and normal map are being edited and a preview of the result displayed in real time on the 3D model.
Not an alternative to dedicated texturing tools like the Substance products – yet
Although fans of Affinity Photo see it as a perpetually licensed alternative to Adobe Photoshop, it’s still a bit early to see it as an alternative to texturing tools like the – also Adobe-owned – Substance products.
Somerfield comments that it is still “early days” for the toolset, and that he “can’t promise this for [Affinity Photo] 1.9”, but that Serif will be “looking to the beta user community to help us make sure we get this right”.

While Affinity Photo is great for creating professional images in a Photoshop-like way, it’s just not an all-round photo editing and management tool. On the other hand, Luminar 4 is a full-featured photo editor with more than 300 robust tools and features, including fast RAW support, custom brushes for selective editing, watermarking,.
Pricing and system requirements
Affinity Photo is available for Windows 7+, Mac OS X 10.9+ and iOS 12+. New desktop licences have an MSRP of $49.99; the iPad edition costs $19.99. The current stable release is Affinity Photo 1.8.
Adobe Lightroom – Score: 8.4. Lightroom has emerged as the cure-all in the eyes of many. As the message says, your system does not meet the current specs to use the hardware acceleration function in Affinity Photo. You'll need to update your Windows to one of the 2020 updates. Windows Update should be able to do that for you.
