Serif also points out that Affinity Photo for iPad can open many different file types, including PSDs - layers and all. “The whole experience of bringing files into and out of the iPad app is now much closer to what it is on a desktop, and of course we’re delighted to be among the first apps to fully take advantage of all this great new functionality,” said Serif Managing Director Ashley Hewson.

Now that multiple files can be selected at once and dragged into the app for focus stacking, HDR, or creating panoramas, the workflow has become more streamlined.

Serif believes that the new update will allow iPad users to treat the Affinity Photo app much like they would on Mac or Windows.
