Okay. Thanks for letting me know. Then we can delete this chain since it was me not being educated on the proper color profile for the file formats I was using. Thank you all for your help.

They uploaded as followed: 1. Reopened After Save Now Showing RGB 2. Export Menu with Changed Color Profile to CMYK 3. Color Profile Changed to CMYK 4. Export Menu Unchanged 5. Previously Saved as CMYK not Showing CMYK but RGB

I don't know if you'll see the title of the images but I titled them what they are showing. I reopened a previously saved file that I formatted in CMYK but it shows it being RGB. I am providing screenshots of what the app shows and the process I go through to change a color profile and what the app shows me once I've done so. I also show how I got to the Export menu. I changed this image again to CMYK and the Document Properties show in the History. It also shows in the app. Yet when I reopened it after Export, it was converted back to RG.

I will rant for a minute. I have yet since purchasing Affinity 1 1/2 yrs ago been able to complete a project without running into continuous problems and having to spend too much emailing Affinity about them. I should be getting a paycheck for all the technical troubleshooting reporting I have done. I experience a new problem each week that I use the software. I already reported 2 this week and today is the 3rd and it's only Tuesday. Has anyone noticed that the software is not saving the conversion to CMYK? I created 108 images. I chose the artboard to be CMYK. However, when I exported them and opened them back up to increase the DPI they were all RGB. Okay. So maybe I did something wrong I thought. So, I go to the document properties menu and choose color profile as CMYK => save then Export. Every last one showed in the History of the document that document properties were applied. Yet when I opened each up they all showed RGB. I did all 108 images again. The same thing above no conversion. They all opened as RGB and the software didn't ask if I wanted them converted to RGB. I just opened 4 images I had already saved on my system. I opened them they were RGB. I went to the Document properties => changed to CMYK => saved => Export. The history menu showed document properties applied. Yet when I opened them up they all showed RGB. I thought maybe when I close them out and it asks me to save, I need to select yes. I did. Guess what? No change. I am so sick of Affinity. If I could get a refund I would. I wanted a program I didn't have to pay a monthly subscription for but I am doing too much free labor using this software. I am selling products online that will be printed so the image must be in CMYK so that what customers see is what they get. However, thanks to Affinity. I will have to redo for about the 4th time over 120 images. I am p*ssed! This is not the first time I have had problems with the software. It doesn't even handle EPS and PDF properly. I'm just ranting because my expectation for this software is extremely low. Almost 2 years and not being able to do simple stuff is ridiculous. If anyone knows another app like Adobe that's not a monthly subscription please let me know.

I'm totally confused and couldn't get it to work with your recommendations. I previously emailed Affinity and didn't get a response. It shouldn't be this hard. I guess the fix is just something you have to stumble upon.
