I've just updated my computer to Windows 11 version 24H2 and now the White appears as Cream in the Colour Wheel/Sliders/Boxes/Tint. Any suggestions as to how I can back to base White, please.

Thanks GarryP. I think you must have a MAC, as I don't get quite the same layout on a PC, but the >> arrows led me to the "culprit". For some reason the "darken" was ticked. Must have done this on one of my "what does this do" expeditions, and I'm only now finding out. Thanks for yet another problem solved.

Don't think I know what this is, where would I find this, please ?

to Old Bruce - I didn't have Snapping turned on. It was on in V1, so unless I've clicked it off inadvertently, then it didn't transfer when I upgraded to V2 by the looks of it. to Walt - don't know why they changed it from V1 - it was straightforward - when I wanted a Grid, just a simple tick turned it on and off. After much experimentation I stumbled on the Grid and Axis item, and have set up a preset. I even set up a shortcut (cue circuits round the room to celebrate my success - a UK football analogy), but forgot that this is where the on and off tick is (I know now). On the topic of cropping, could I ask a further question please ? I use light mode to process in Affinity, and have set a certain shade of grey for my background. In V1 when I use the Crop Tool, the background is the same shade as the base background. In V2 the shade changes to a much darker grey. Is there a particular reason for this ? The Background and Artboard backgrounds have been set the same in V1 and V2 - or almost, as there are differences between V1 and V2 in the UI interface. In the meantime, thank you for your assistance.

Crop Tool - red and green guides. These no longer appear with V2 - thought they were great in V1. What has happened to them ? Guides/grids - Although these are ticked in "View" they do not show on image. Have set up a "guides" preset but once turned on, will not turn off.

I thought I'd replied to this thread already but it seems I put my comment in the wrong place. An added delay was because I had had to retrieve the e-mails from Spam. The camera is an R6. Did you mean you wanted me to send the CR3 file itself ? I might be able to as it's about a 20mb file, but anything bigger and I don't think my internet could cope. As this was my very first attempt at processing this (and one of only a few tries at this type of photography) I didn't know if this was a "one off", but since my first attempt last week I thought I would try and process another and have had a similar reaction but this time purple was affected as well as red. If you want me to send the comparisons for this one please let me know. Geoff

Please see attached PNGs - the final image is a multiple exposure of 5 images. I have also opened the file in Affinity 1, with the same result. The jpeg opens as it should look.
