Affinity Photo 2.6.5 for Mac is Serif's professional raster and photo editor, made for photographers, retouchers and digital artists who want a full editing workflow on macOS without tying themselves to a photo subscription. It handles everything from everyday corrections to complex, multi-layer composites.

The app is organised into Personas for photo editing, liquefy work, RAW development, tone mapping and export. You can develop a RAW file, refine it with adjustment layers and masks, remove distractions, merge exposures or panoramas, and export for print or web. Version 2.6.5 belongs to the V2 generation, sold on a perpetual licence.

Key Features

  • Full RAW development with lens corrections, noise reduction and non-destructive edits
  • Layer-based editing with live adjustments, masks, blend modes and filters
  • Retouching tools including inpainting, healing, clone work and frequency separation
  • HDR merge, focus merge, panorama stitching and batch processing for busy shoots
  • Supports PSD, JPG, TIFF, PNG and many RAW formats, with CMYK and LAB colour work

How to Download

  1. Download from the official site
  2. Choose Serif's current purchase or trial route on that page, or the Mac App Store edition if it is offered.
  3. Install Affinity Photo, sign in with your Affinity account if prompted, and activate your licence before editing.

Is Affinity Photo free?
No, Photo 2 was a paid app, not a free full version. Serif ran trial offers at different times, and Serif is now owned by Canva, so use the official page to confirm today's trial, price and any successor-app arrangements.

Can it replace a subscription photo editor?
For many photographers, yes. It covers RAW editing, layers, retouching and export in one paid licence, although some Adobe-specific plugins, cloud libraries and collaborative features will not carry over.
