IME text editing for Japanese and Simplified Chinese languages has been improved alongside support for most emoji. Performance has also been improved with placed images, embedded documents, and low-memory situations. The Affinity Photo update also brings improved performance with Panorama stitching, de-fringing, and increased maximum radius, multiple placed Info page samplers, adjustments layers when hardware acceleration is disabled, heavily layered documents - for faster rendering during panning and text reflow - and more.

For portrait and fashion photographers, the new “Median Blur” mode for the Frequency Separation filter brings new capabilities for editing skin texture. For astrophotography in particular, the latest update allows users to edit stacked image names for better organization and to stack images for different filters simultaneously using file groups, opens FITS files directly in Photo Persona, and provides support for Fujifilm X-Trans sensor images.
