Hi wonderings, Appreciate your interest... I don’t know if you saw my reply above but today when I opened Publisher today, the CMYK percentages were correct, and I was able to add that color to the palette. So for now, my issue is solved. I started with InDesign 1.0 (QuarkXPress before that! LOL) — and know it like the back of my hand so I know there’s going to be a learning curve to learn Publisher. Thanks, Christina

Hi Lagardo, THANK YOU for taking a look at my question! Will definitely go back in and take a look. Believe I DID change to 16-bit (I don’t remember which color space I was in at the time though, so it may have been RGB). And interestingly, I just opened that file up again — selected that color within my doc, looked at the percentage values and now they’re displaying properly. So I guess it’s all good now. Also was able to correctly add that color to the palette, this time. Regarding the text size 'live' updating, I am using a (newer to me) Font manager (RightFont) and do have quite a few fonts installed. Anyway, thanks again for you assistance. Christina

I am new to Affinity Publisher. I have it on my MacBook Pro, v1.8.6. Today I was going through a tutorial for it on lynda.com and was doing a very simple letter-size doc. I ran into a very weird (to me) issue when I was specifying a CMYK color. When I initially spec’d it, all seemed normal. A bit later, I looked back at the percentages (in the context sensitive-area at the top) and the settings had turned into four digits! When I put the correct CMYK percentages in, the color was entirely different. I restarted the program (twice), no difference. I tried to add that color to the swatch palette and another color added instead. it just got weirder and weirder (and frustrating). I’ve been dealing with print graphics for 30 years and there are *no* four-digit percentages (LOL). Is this a bug or something? I have been wanting to try Publisher out to see if it could replace InDesign our our workflow. Not at this rate... Screen shot attached. The other thing is performance-related. I select some text and change the size in the palette, and the type doesn’t change size immediately. I am so used to the way InDesign behaves ... Any thoughts on what is going on? Thanks!
