What is affinity-photo-264-raw-tools?

This repository presents itself as a release of Affinity Photo 2.6.4, a commercial photo editing application for macOS made by a company called Affinity, aimed at photographers and designers who need RAW file processing, layer based non destructive editing, and image compositing tools. The README describes typical Affinity Photo features such as HDR merging, panorama stitching, focus stacking, professional color management, and Apple Silicon optimized performance, and points to a GitHub Pages link as a direct download for the application itself. Beyond that description, the README does not include any actual source code, build instructions, or technical explanation of what files the repository contains. Its setup section simply tells you to clone the repository and then launch whatever application package you find inside, without describing what that package is or how it was produced. This is unusual for a GitHub repository claiming to host a full commercial creative application, since a real desktop app of that scale would typically involve its own codebase, build process, and vendor documentation rather than a single generic clone and launch instruction. The repository lists its license as GNU GPL version 3.0, which is also unusual here, since Affinity Photo is proprietary commercial software sold by its original maker and is not distributed under an open source license. A GPL license on this repository would only cover whatever original files the repository owner actually wrote, not the underlying Affinity Photo application itself, which remains the property of its original publisher regardless of what license this repository claims. Readers looking for genuine technical detail, actual source files, or a trustworthy way to obtain Affinity Photo should treat this repository's description with caution and consider getting the software directly from its official publisher instead.
