MEB, now I'm really stumped. In simple, down to earth words, (speak slowly and clearly), Resample checked or not checked, and reasons why. I always use Lanczos 3 non separable. Cheers, David

Thanks, Lee D.

In RAW, Develop Assistant, Tone Curve, no action, is my preference. How can I keep no action? Kind Regards, David

Hi Gary. Consider, if you will, using RPP 64 RAW developer in the meantime. Or, Canon's RAW developer you already have, from Canon. Kind Regards, David

Good question jimrobin. Looking at my screen shots, you can see, near the bottom where it says open in Affinity Photo. By the way, you don't need to choose lab tiff 16 bit. That would lead to CIE50. Choose something else. More questions? Kind Regards, David

I would suggest this IS a color management issue. I did not say it is, just suggested it is. Kind Regards, David

Use RPP 64 to convert your RAW files. Purchase that Canon 80D. RPP 64 is an excellent RAW developer. And that is exactly what it is. Like developing film with chemicals, RPP 64 does the same thing with RAW files. There is a small fee to completely use all the RPP 64. Just a small donation. It's not a subscription. All update have no additional costs. Read about the two gentlemen the developed this application and you will see why it's so popular. Kind Regard, David PS: Purchase that Canon ! ! I personally own two EOS 6D's

Tekl, Still doesn't work. When You find another solution, let us know. David

Consider opening your RAW in RPP 64, and send it directly to Affinity Photo. Let us know how that works for you. Cheers, David

Tekl, please put in parenthesis, the file or folder to trash. Kind Regards, David

Tekl: Posted 16 March 2016 - 11:26 AM I deleted all profiles, reseted the PRAM and also installed the latest combo update. Nothing changes. But after deleting some stuff I found the file which causes Affinity to stuck with the old display profile. When I delete this file, everything is fine: ~/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto/Data/Library/Application Support/user/objectstyles.propcol Thank you Tekl. I found objectstyles.propcol in three different places, and deleted all three. Is this what you suggested, or just one file? How did you know to do this? I don't know these kind of things.

When will you offer full color management tutorial? Sad to say, I find color management in AP is non existent. If it is there, I appreciate knowing where correct and complete color management is. Kind Regards, David

me too, also, as well

Ihodaniel: With a pair of MacBook Pro, 8,3 each, and a pair of NEC PA 272(1), I promise the 17 inch MacBook Pro displays can never ever give the correct image information! The PA's are calibrated with the SpectroView II, like yours. NIK software is not in my workflow. Hardware is the i1Pro vD, spectrophotometer. I would suggest color management in PA in poor or even non-existent. This issue may or may not be part of your experience. Previous post I have done my or may not help. Posted Yesterday, 08:03 AM Quoting from outside Serif, the colorsync-users@lists.apple.com. As far as I know, anyone can go to his user@lists.apple.com. "AP is a nice program for lots of reasons, but color management isn't one of them. Their implementation of colorsync is a kludge at best. I've written to them extensively to point out a few of their shortcomings in that area, and I think they know it's bad but won't admit that it's broken until they have it fixed in a future release. At least that's my hope. They're releasing a Windows version very soon, so that's a major revision and hopefully we'll see some improvements on both platforms. They have a help blog but not many people there deal with color management. I stopped using AP because of their clumsy profiling, but I don't remember having the same issue you've got. Just make sure that when you open your file in PS that you assign the same working profile that was used in AP. It might not be embedding the correct one." I, me, David, is not alone with this issue. It's an AP issue not resolved. Should I have known this information before purchase, I never would have put my money down. My error in not finding the clumsy profiling in the first place. The suggestions thoughtful folks have made are all in vain. I was correct in my assessment early. Color management is non existent. Now I can't understand why I was led on an extremely wild goose chase by staff, members, videos, support and others. I now assume you all knew color management did not exist. Just tried to cover it up. In my opinion making a baaffoon out of me! Allan, why didn't you simply advise me there is not color management in place? Yet the ads INFER color management IS in place.

Kind Regards, David B. Miller, Pharm. D. Posted 24 March 2016 - 10:31 AM I did the exercise as suggested by csp. The results show what have been seeing ever since using AP. I simply dragged the image file to PS CS5, as well as to AP beta, and this is what has been my issue. I would expect an image file to look the same in either application. As simple as it can get, when the exact image file is opened in both applications, that one image file does not look the same. I have not manipulated the image file in any way. My thinking is the image file is to look the same in either LR, PS, and AP. In AP I simply dragged the file to the icon. Nothing more. And that is what I view. Since I did not do any adjustments in AP, I cannot understand why the image file is different. There is no soft proofing in AP in these examples. I thank everyone in advance for assisting me.

I did what you suggested, as suggested. The screen shots show there is no match. And, I do thank you for the suggestion. Screen shots show the two images on the 27 inch display, as well as on the MacBook Pro display. Just doesn't make sense to me why the one image file looks different than the other in either application. Simply dragging a given image to either application, in my work flow, as in PS and LR, the display show the same looking image. Kind Regards, David

But, to be clear, are the AP image and the "image ready to print" the same file - i.e., the same exact file, just opened in two different applications? YES. Don't use preview. Good article. I don't have any issues with RPP, LR and PS. Thank you for the link. I am trying to isolate your problem in a methodical way, so we need to start with some simple experiments with well-known conditions. I say "your" problem, because I cannot replicate it on either of my Macs. Good thinking. I have two 8,3 MacBook Pro 17 inch non-glare displays, with 16GB RAM. Each uses the PA272 (1) for actual work. Both show the same color issue. I will do the methodology suggested. Sure glad you are assisting.

For at least ten years, I made an attempt to go to photo printers, not prepress, in my town, and show them how to save money and not continually print to match the display they were using, or adjust their display to match what came out of their printer. Some where willing to try, and where delighted. Others just kept chasing the perfect print at the expense of ink and paper. I don't consider myself a color scientist. You can find some of them on the colorsync-users@lists.apple.com I do enjoy having a fine replication/representation of an artist's original art. Gives my great joy. This is my goal with Affinity Photo.

Here is a screen shot where I did not use soft proofing. The AP image and the image ready to print are not the same. AP is more saturated and brighter

Thanks RC-R. I read the discussion. Guess a matter of semantics. Still puzzled. Still must use LR with it's soft proofing. Even PS's soft proofing. Nothing else seems to work regarding AP. And I really want to use AP. Has anyone tried 'assign profiles', or 'convert to profile' in AP? See if that makes a difference D

I have watched the sp video, over and over again. And again, just know. I did exactly as the voice told me to. No match. According to video, and please confirm, he suggests the sp is to see what the printed image will look like. Sorry. Not on my display. And would someone explain what is meant and the process to do it, when he says 'merge'? What are the motions I do to merge like he says?

Here is an image file completely processed in AP. RAW converted, soft proofed, sized, and exported. Opened in PS CS5....the screen shot of them together shows they don't match. My goal was to make the image in AP to be perfect and ready to print. And it is. You can see the image in PS CS5 is not as saturated as in the AP image. What's the point? Not salable. I use Printao 8 and would simply slide the PC CS5 image into Printao 8, and print. What I see in PS CS5 is what is printed in Printao 8.
