Paddysfotos Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hello Guys, please release an ARM64 Bit Version of Affinity Photo for the Microsoft Store. You only accept INTEL and AMD. I have an ASUS with Qualcomm Snapdragon and Windows 10 Pro. The future of Mobile Chips are here! thank You! Finesseful J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damasta Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Agreed. My new Surface Pro X (based on Snapdragon 8cx) is amazing. and will become my new daily driver. Also, Adobe is working on bringing a bunch of products to the the native 64bit ARM world: Thanks! Finesseful J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 This has been discussed on other threads. The Windows version of the Affinity products are built using a toolkit from Microsoft which is not supported (by Microsoft) on ARM64, such that Serif would basically need to rewrite the application to get this working. They have indicated that they are evaluating options, but due to this limitation, I would not expect that version to be released any time soon, as it is not a simple matter of a recompile; this will take a lot of work.

However, another topic linked to a Microsoft discussion which seemed to indicate that Microsoft is also looking at reworking the interfaces in a way that would resolve this problem. Still, I agree that it probably won't appear in an Affinity release soon. fde101 and Finesseful J 2 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damasta Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 So, .Net 5 was released with native ARM64 support and performance optimizations for ARM architecture: ARM64 Performance in .NET 5 | .NET Blog (microsoft.com) Does this mean we can expect Affinity Photo on Windows 10 ARM64 soon?

It still doesn't include WPF, so that won't really help. The report that I see on it indicates that WPF on arm64 is targeted for sometime next year.
