Dear Affinity support team, when editing SVG files and exporting the result as PNG, we noticed that the PNGs have the pHYs section set: https://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/#11pHYs In our case: pixel_units: meters pixels_per_unit_x: 5669 pixels_per_unit_y: 5669 As we use Affinity Designer for designing icons for several applications, this section must not be set (plain pixel grapic). Some controls of our applications (WPF/WinForms) have problems rendering the PNGs (DPI/scaling issues) when the pHYs section is set. We already tried several exporting options. Ideally, we would export as PNG-8 (dithered) with no ICC profiles embedded and without metadata to achieve the smallest possible file size. Is this a bug or are there any options we missed? With kind regards, Kersten

Oh okay, I didn't notice this when opening the file. Thank you very much! A warning when opening or exporting would have been nice, though. 🙂 "Notice: The color space doesn't match the exported file. Colors may change."

Steps required: 1. Open any vector image and edit its layer colors using adjustment layers (maybe it has to do with using multiple adjustment layers). 2. Export the image as SVG and look at either the preview or exported image. Exporting as PNG preserves the colors as seen when editing. Expected outcome: The SVG export should have the same colors as in the editor. Otherwise editing the colors wouldn't make any sense. I attached a sample file that does not export to SVG or EPS as expected. sample.afdesign
