affinity-photo-new：把 Gemini 接入 Affinity Photo / Designer / Publisher 的免费桥接工具

🎨 affinity-photo-new - Unlock AI-Powered Design in Affinity

🚀 What Is This?

affinity-photo-new is a free, powerful bridge that connects Google's artificial intelligence (Gemini) directly to your Serif Affinity apps—Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, and Affinity Publisher. With this tool, you can generate vector graphics, automate canvas tasks, and create designs programmatically—all without writing a single line of code.

Think of it as your personal AI design assistant that works right inside your favorite Affinity software.

⭐ Key Features

✨ Real-Time Vector Generation

Describe what you want (e.g., "a minimalist mountain logo") and watch Gemini create it instantly as a vector graphic in Affinity.

🖱️ Programmatic Design Made Simple

Automate repetitive tasks like resizing layers, applying filters, or arranging elements—all controlled through simple commands.

🔄 Seamless Canvas Automation

Let AI handle tedious work like batch-processing images, organizing layers, or generating layout variations while you focus on creativity.

🤖 Works with Your AI Coding Agents

If you use AI coding tools (like Cursor or VS Code Copilot), this server lets them talk to Affinity directly, enabling advanced automation workflows.

🟦 Supports All Three Affinity Apps

Works with:

💡 Tips for Best Results

🗣️ Speak Naturally

Don't worry about technical terms. Simply describe what you want:

Instead of: "Create path with bezier curves"
Try: "Draw a wavy line across the top"

🧪 Start Simple

Begin with basic commands before trying complex operations. A good starting point:

"Make a blue circle"
"Duplicate the selected layer"
"Align all layers to center"

📚 Keep the Terminal Open

The command window that opens is the "engine" of the tool. Don't close it! If you do, close Affinity first, then restart the tool.

🔄 Update Regularly

Check the GitHub page periodically for new versions. To update:

Download the latest ZIP
Replace the old files (keep your work files separate!)
Restart the application

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to know programming?

No! Everything is controlled through simple English commands. If you can chat, you can use this tool.

Q: Which Affinity version do I need?

Any recent version (v1.10 or newer) works. The tool automatically detects the installed apps.

Q: Is my artwork safe?

Yes. Your files remain on your computer. The AI only receives text descriptions, never your actual artwork.

Q: Do I need a Gemini API key?

For basic usage, no. The tool works out-of-the-box. Advanced features may require a free Gemini key (instructions included in the downloaded files).

Q: Can I use this commercially?

Absolutely! Use it for client work, freelance projects, or personal designs—no restrictions.
