A free beta test version of the Affinity Photo app was released to the public on 9 February 2015. Serif established an R&D team for Affinity Photo in 2009, headed by lead designer Andy Somerfield. It was Serif's second macOS app, and (like Affinity Designer) was built from the ground up to leverage core native technologies, including Grand Central Dispatch, Core Graphics, OpenGL and Metal 2 hardware acceleration. Development ДЄffinity Photo began as a raster graphics editor solely for macOS. ДЄffinity Photo is not an image organiser like Apple Aperture or Adobe Lightroom. It supports unlimited layers and a dedicated workspace for developing RAW photos as well as RGB, CMYK, LAB, Greyscale colour spaces with ICC colour management and 16-bit per channel editing.

Working in Affinity Photo is always live, with pan and zoom at 60fps and non-destructive editing. ДЇunctionality includes RAW processing, colour space options, live previews as effects are applied, as well as Image stitching, alpha compositing, black point compensation, and optical aberration corrections.

It has been described as an Adobe Photoshop alternative, and is compatible with common file formats such as Adobe's PSD (including Photoshop Smart Objects). Affinity Photo serves as a successor to PhotoPlus, which Serif discontinued in 2017 in order to focus on the Affinity product range.
