Hi Dayfold,
Maybe this should be entered as a feature request.
Currently spot or Pantone® colours aren't supported either, but are in the feature roadmap.

Thanks for clarifying, Leigh.
I did not realise the issue was exclusive to Affinity Photo.
I notice that if you need a transparent background in a file you are originating in AP, then it's an option at the initial document set up:

Why is not possible to open in Preview an edited and saved in Photo image. With click on the picture again opens the Program (Photo) ...
Hi pablos,
If you need to open the file in other software, then you need to export the Affinity file to an appropriate file format (png, jpeg, tiff, psd, pdf).
Hope this helps,
Paul.

No, it does not. All fine.
I've checked again with several files (.CR2, .RAF, JPG) with Adobe RGB assigned (checked twice with Finder info and Photoshop) - they all trigger the notification.
Did you assign the RGB profile in AF or in another app?
Hi totoff,
I exported the file from Affinity Photo.
I also made sure that the Adobe RGB (1998) profile gets embedded during export.
Hope this helps.

After working on a document with lots of layers for a while, I found out that there's no way to change the background colour of the document from white to transparent, or at least, not an easy and intuitive way... someone in the forum mentioned the menu File > Document Setup but I can't find it under the File menu.
I need to set a transparent background in order to export a PNG with transparency. Creating a new document with transparent background doesn't seem to help unless you are willing to loose all your layers and flatten them all into a single layer. Far from ideal!
I am surprised such a basic feature seems to be impossible to achieve. I am also surprised that there's no way to contact the customer support directly, I'd be willing to pay a bit more but get the support that I need.
Thanks
Hi lucaben,
The keyboard shortcut to the document set up is the same as in Adobe - Shift>Command>P, there is also a document set up tab above the document window at the left:
Hope this helps.

Hi lucaben,
If you go to the document set up, you can change the background to transparent:
Hope this helps.

Hi Hemlock,
Welcome to the forum.
.afphoto or .afdesign are the native extensions for each app.
If you have ever used Gimp, a similar thing happens with its native file format!
For images to post on line, you need to export the file to the desired format, not save or save as:
Alternatively, you could use the 'Share' function in the File menu:
Hope this helps.

Hi Jon,
Beta testing is made available from time to time, just keep an eye out for the announcements.
Affinity Publisher public beta could start towards the end of this year.

Hi Forum,
I shoot in Adobe RGB and have likewise set color space in AP to Adobe RGB. However, whenever I open an image in AP a get a prompt saying the file was converted to Adobe RGB.
Is this a bug or intentional?
Thanks
Hi totoff,
I've attached an Adobe RGB (1998) profiled TIFF.
Could you please open it in AP and see if the profile assignment notification appears?
The original was sRGB, which triggered the notification, I saved the TIFF with my default RGB profile and this did not trigger the notification.
Paul.

Hi jackamus,
A similar thing happens in PS, if it is layered & not flattened.
Perhaps that is what you are experiencing in AP?
Maybe if you post your file to the forum, it might become apparent.

Hi Dariusz,
I believe the answer is in this link: https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/about/
The primary focus is on bringing together a coherent suite of apps for the Mac platform, before shifting focus elsewhere.

I am a photographer and after exporting the final Affinity images with a sRGB color profile I went to upload them to my site only to find that they wouldn't load. The IT department for my site checked into it and noticed that the color profile for all my images was gone.
Has anyone else had issues with this?
Hi edzap,
Is there a chance that you could post the Affinity file & the exported file here to take a look at?
You can delete them later.
Paul.

Paul : Excellent solution !
I've used it sometimes with vector patterns (viewport was very slow before raster).
Another question about my diamonds : I've created a brush with diamonds but they can't stay circular when the curvature is too important. Is there a solution ?
Hi lenogre,
I can't remember who originally posted this video for making a clock face, but I've attached it here because it may be a good way for you to run the diamonds as objects around a circle.
The rotation angles will need to be adapted to suit what you want.

Hi manuschwendener.ch,
I noticed this info on the MOO site:
"Please note, we don't offer any spot colour or any pantone matching, so its best to remove them from your PDFs and ensure only CMYK colour values"
If you were to invest in a PANTONE® Color Bridge Coated book, it has split swatches of the the actual PANTONE® colour on the left & its CMYK values on the right.
A very handy tool if you are designing for a Corporate or business that specifies PANTONE® colours in its logos etc. & you want the best CMYK match possible from your file:
Paul.

Thank you!
(Document -> Assign ICC Profile -> Coated FOGRA 39)
Cool, let us know how you get on with the results from MOO!

Hi apgal,
What type of file are you exporting to & what settings do you use?
Could you post your AD file plus the exported file to the forum, please?
Paul.
-
Hi -manuschwendener.ch,
The Coated FOGRA 39 profile is one of the CMYK settings you can choose for your document set up.
When your file is using this profile, then your exported file will also comply with this profile.
Paul.

Hi Claude,
Have you tried rasterising the layer prior to exporting the selection?
If not, try it & see if it helps.
Paul.

AD is unable to export this file. PNG or PSD don't work.
MacPro 6x3.33GHz - 16Go Ram
Hi lenogre,
I'm not sure if it's a bug or not.
The export to png or psd works if the grouped layer is rasterised.
I've attached my .afdesign version file (with saved history) & exported psd & png files as well, I chose to enlarge the grouped layer before rasterising to maintain a high resolution.

Hi macca1980,
You'll have to use the links provided in your emailed receipt from Apple:
Apple site:
It will be a good idea to check your App Store's Terms of Sale regarding purchases, the link is at the foot of your emailed receipt.

Hi coranda,
Does this screen shot answer your question?
Paul.

Hi JDW,
Rather than a feature request, I think it should be a bug report.
A new AP document has no layer by default, so it's illogical to flood fill no layer.
Perhaps AP should have a pixel layer by default when creating a new document.
Paul. ;)

Hi Sun,
I was only advising how to locate the Affinity Beta software data.
As far as the safe deletion of these files is concerned, it may be wise to ask a dev.
With regard to Adobe, your questions may be better directed to them or Apple.
If you have Flash Player, Shockwave etc. the files may be necessary for update notifications.
1bit B&W images in Affinity Photo?

Hi all,
Has this been requested already?
Support for bitmap format would be very useful.
Cheers,
Paul.
