We are pleased to announce an update for the macOS release of Affinity Photo 2, version 2.0.4

The changes in Affinity Photo 2 for macOS 2.0.4 (those made since the last release Affinity Photo 2 for macOS 2.0.3) are as follows:

Fixes & Improvements:  (since the last release 2.0.3)

  • Develop Persona: Enabling White Balance on non RAW files crashes Affinity Photo. [AFP-5803]
  • Fixed: "Register your licence" prompt appears on every run up when a Mac App Store user doesn't register the license on the Affinity Store.
  • App crash upon startup caused by a deleted "Recently Used" file on Catalina
  • Fix gradual slow down after changing tools many times.
  • ‘Help’->’Visit Support Forums’ menu item goes to the forums again
  • Fix for non-primary Persona menus having broken ‘Help’->’Tutorials’ links.
  • Some image resources are being replaced by others from the same document when copy/paste was originally used to insert them.[AFB-7053]
  • Fixed tint value in CR3 files [AFP-4617]
  • Fix New Document sometimes showing Letter* instead of A4
  • Improved timezone handling in Metadata panel
  • Colour space selection not correctly represented in curves adjustments.
  • Saving files may reduce file size in some circumstances (example was a 2gb file with no embedded data)
  • Editing an embedded PDF does not create a History step, meaning changes are lost when closing as no save prompt is shown
  • Assorted stability fixes
  • Help and Localisation updates.
  • Assorted other Licensing and Registration improvements

UPDATING TO THIS VERSION (which is free for all V2 users)

The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (in application menu, Affinity Photo > About).

If you’ve purchased from the Mac App Store— updates are done automatically next time you run your software after it is available in the Mac App Store. If this does not happen for you, open the Mac App Store app and go to the Updates page and then Store > Reload page or press CMD+R. This should hopefully force the update to show. Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world which can mean it may take up to 72 hours for your update to be available.

If you’ve purchased from the Affinity Store— each time you start the software it will check for updates and offer to download and install any available update, or in the application main menu there is an option Check for Updates. You can download the latest installer by logging into the affinity store here and find the order in your account and use the "download" button in there. Alternatively, this new release (and previous versions of Affinity Photo for macOS) can be downloaded from this link (that installer is NOT for Mac app store purchases, which update through the Mac App Store).

In that case, I would like to suggest including the bug numbers that are attached to the forum threads in the list of changes in the future (ex. there is a thread which appears to be the white balance issue which was tagged "AFP-5803" in the bug reporting section) to make it easier for users to match the list in these announcements back to the relevant threads, since it is not always as obvious as that one.

I'm getting prompted to update to 2.0.4.356. What's the difference between that and 2.0.4?

Hi Michael, 2.0.4.356 is 2.0.4. Affinity shows the short version number in the splash screen and the long one in My Account.

Cheers

None, they're the same.

2.0.4.326 is the build number of the release codenamed 2.0.4 There is only ever one release called 2.0.3, one release called 2.0.4, one 2.0.5. However it takes a number of distinct internal beta builds of 2.0.4 till we get to the actual release. So betas called 2.0.4.xya .xyb .xyc are made and the final one is the release build. Then we start starting work on 2.0.5.xyd (or we could call it 2.1.0.xyd if we add new features too)

It's May 3 and this still has not been addressed. The prompt still leads to a product page and not the release notes. 🤨

There hasn't been an update since 2.0.4 so there hasn't been an opportunity to change the release notes link. I assume Patrick was saying it would be addressed in the next release which is now scheduled to be 2.1.

You can see a preview of the 2.1 release notes by reviewing the list of new features and improvements in the 2.1 beta. Also see the link from that post to the list of bug fixes.
