One Whisper

Okay! Thanks! I’ll give it a try! Do they all look about the same when you look at them?

Sorry took me so long to get back, been busy with work. I took a screen shot of an image with my Acer computer to show how it looks and then when looking at it on my computer it looks different. The 1st is showing the screenshot of it on my Acer computer it looks way brighter and colors not as saturated to me. The 2nd is that same photo on my iPad. When looking at that photo on my iPad, it looks darker and colors more saturated. The 3rd is a screenshot I took of the 1st photo with my iPad (I had transferred the photo from my Acer and opened it in my files on my iPad, and that’s what it looked like. Even though the photo is the same as shown in the 1st attached image). Hopefully that makes sense. Hopefully these photos will help! The photos appear the same on both computers (Acer and Windows), it’s when it goes to my iPad it’s so different. I’ve had to start transferring photos to my iPad, seeing what is over saturated or too texturized, and going back in and adjusting it.

I’m not sure if it would help to add photos to show what I mean since I feel like they’d look different depending on what they’re looked at on?

It didn’t seem to help unfortunately. The X-rite program you were talking about, is that something I’d download on my computer and ipad to calibrate and get similar results?

I had done it when I did it in settings… In Windows, you can either search for “Calibrate” in the Start menu and select “Calibrate display color” from the results. Or, go to Settings by going to System > Display > Advanced display and then click “Display adapter properties for [Your Display]” then go to Color Management > Color Management > Advanced before clicking the “Calibrate display” button. Then follow the steps to calibrate. Not sure how it is for Mac though. But, deleting the custom one I had didn’t seem to help so I don’t know what else to do. I guess I’m just going to buy Affinity for my iPad so I don’t have to deal with the issues between my windows and iOS

In color management, I went into “All Profiles” tab and scrolled down to the “ICC Profiles” and found 3 profiles. When I click on each one, I am able to click “Remove” there. Do I just remove the “sRGB display..” one that showed in the “Devices” section (the highlighted on in the photo)? Looking at my Acer, it has 2 ICC Profiles - the “sRGB IEC…” and “Agfa..” one like my HP, but doesn’t have the “sRGB display…” one. So, only need to remove it on my HP

Thanks so much! I tried to go into the color profile and I clicked on the profile but the “Remove” stays greyed out so I can’t click on it. So do the other ones - “Add,” “Set as Default Profile,” and “Profiles” It seems my iPad doesn’t support that. I did see a slider for color temperature, which is set right in the center, so I think that’s good. I understand it will be slightly different, just would like it to not be so vastly different than I have now. Now, I have to edit on my laptop get it to where I like it, then export it and look at it on my iPad only for it to look crazy and have to go back to laptop and keep making small changes and exporting it to my iPad to see how it looks…frustrating! 😂 Thanks! I’ll have to read that! I forgot to mention earlier, when I saw about photoshops export for web not being on affinity, I saw people mention reducing quality down to 80% and/or changing Pixel Format to like RGB 8-bit or RGB 16-bit. I tried that but didn’t notice a difference. Is it supposed to make a difference?

Hello! 😊 I was thinking it must be something to do with that. In my search trying to figure it out, I had seen something that seemed similar to my issue but it was for photoshop and on there they said the photoshop is color managed but many applications like phones are not color managed and just send raw numbers to the display. So, to be safe when sending an image to web or like phone or iPad, export using “Save doe Web (Legacy)” and make sure “Convert to sRGB” and “Embed Color Profile” are checked. So, I thought something similar might be in affinity, but didn’t find anything about that when I looked. I did see something about using Export Persona for preparing photos to export for Web or applications. I haven’t tried using Export Persona yet. I got the screenshots for the color profiles. My regular laptop (HP) is old and slow so I recently got a different one just to use for editing (Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R74Z) that runs windows Home 11. I e tried using Affinity on there and thought maybe I’d have better results, but the same thing happened. I also added screenshots of the color profiles for that computer too. My iPad, I checked “Night Shift” is turned off. I couldn’t find anything for “Tru Tone” though? As for the update - I purchased Affinity through the website and usually when I open it if there’s a new version it tells me so I can update but it hasn’t. I tried opening it again just before I posted my reply to see if it told me about an update but it didn’t. So how can I manually tell it to update? 😊

Hello, I’m completely new to editing so this might be something that most people know but I don’t know? I edit a photo on my windows PC and it looks fine. I export it and save it on my PC. Then I take the saved photo and save it on my cloud and when I open it on my iPad, it looks totally wrong - usually over saturated or too much contrast. When I open the exported affinity JPEG image on my PC, it looks fine, exactly like it did in Affinity. So is it just the difference in PC to IOS, it’s going to look different? I am using 6th gen iPad (IOS 15.0.2) Windows 10 Home, Affinity 1.9.2.1035 Color profile info on affinity says RGBA/8 - sRGB IEC61966-2.1 When I export, I export it JPEG, Pixel Format is Use Document Format
