I guess I am just not the market for this type of thing. Not sure any of these would be considered necessary, unless the market they are going after is like the countless apps that do these types of things already. The change of the sky feature I can see, and have used a few times but it is hardly a must have app and I would have lived ok without it. '2.0 - The big neural update'?ĭoes photoshop add hair and age to peoples faces with a click? All these things sound like you just want a mobile app like FaceApp. But I think it's worth releasing such features as software version 2.0 - so I can pay for the work of Affinity again.

And I can only imagine what effort in development needs to be done for such a thing. IMHO, I do not only see these tools as a nice-to-have for myself but I think it is essentially necessary to remain marketworthy in the future. What impressed me the most is a tool that can change the season or time of day of a picture of the nature 'in 10 seconds' by using so-called 'Neural filters'.

Machine-Learning supported tools like auto-crop subjects of a picture, changing the auto-recognized sky, next-level face manipulation like for facial hair or human age. Time goes on and the topics artificial intelligence and machine learning are bigger than ever.Īs I've seen what competitors of Affinity software can achieve with these techniques I think these are a must-have in the future, otherwise people using software without these have to waste a significant amount of time on unnecessary tasks or simply can not achieve similar results.Įspecially Affinity Photo could need functions for manipulating photo data.
