Affinity Photo for Windows Update 1.5.2 Available


Recommended Posts

  • Staff

Affinity Photo for Windows 1.6.0 is now live.

 

We are pleased to announce the first update for Affinity Photo for Windows (version 1.5.2).

 

The update can be downloaded from here. Once downloaded, close Affinity Photo and run (double click) the downloaded EXE to install it.

 

A list of the fixes this release contains is being prepared and will be posted shortly.

 

To install this version you will need to have the Affinity Photo for Windows already installed OR you will need to type in your email address and a valid Product key when prompted. When installing on top of an existing version you will not be prompted for the product key. If you need it you can find your product key (and a download button) in your Affinity store account, where you will also find the email address used to generate the key when you ordered the software. 

 

If you have installed any previous beta version of Affinity Photo 1.5.2, that beta can be safely uninstalled before or after installing this release update, they are independent installs. The beta will stop working soon anyway.

 

Please report any problems you have installing or using this new version in the Windows forum here
