The Affinity Photo app possesses some notable features including RAW processing, panorama stitching, 16-bit editing, focus stacking, tone mapping, ICC color management, batch processing, 360-degree photos and Pantone support. Now, the Affinity Photo Editor has been optimized for Windows and can be downloaded for free as a public beta. It will also be augmented for Microsoft Surface Studio and Surface Dial. Serif has been reportedly working on the Windows version of the app for at least a year and made its efforts official in March 2016.
