[Need help with wahsed out images in Publisher 2]

The document was for PDF screen display only.

I need to lean about color profiles. But have no idea where to start.

Thank again for your help MikeTO

[Need help with wahsed out images in Publisher 2]

@MikeTO
So from your question I made a new Publisher file with the same RGB selections as my Photo pictures were.  Then copied the pictures over from the faded to the new Publisher file and it look so much better.
If there is a better way then please let m know.  But your question really helped me a lot.

[Need help with wahsed out images in Publisher 2]

I loaded up Photo and see the color format is RGB/8,  and color profile is sRGBIEC61966-2.1
The Publisher document is  color format :CYMK/8
Color Profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2

But I never saved the original pictures.  I just copied them from Photo and pasted the into a new Publisher document.
I am a noob when it comes to publishing so any help is greatly appreciated.

[Need help with wahsed out images in Publisher 2]

I started an Affinity Publisher 2 document and just copied and pasted my images (work not saved) from Affinity Photo 2.
They look very washed out.
Doing some research the problem appears to be something with "color profile"?  I don't really understand that, but my question being, is my Publisher document ruined, and I now need to start form scratch?  Or is there something I can change in Publisher to save my faded images?

[V2 Pricing for users V1]

No,' they're' annoyed that Affinity isn't doing what every other software company does and offering agreater loyalty discount for existing users, especially those who wasted their money just a few months ago, on a version that is now obsolete and will receive no more updates of any kind even if there's a security flaw.

Every software company gives a larger discount for existing users, except Affinity. It's standard.

You'll be annoyed too if they bring out v3 in 5 months time and your v2 is suddenly obsolete.

I completely wasted the money I spent a few months ago on v1. If I hadn't bought v1 then, I'd have the money to buy v2 now. By the time Christmas is over and I can save something, the price will be completely out of reach.

Being attacked by rich people for not being rich is also not improving the company's reputation.

 

V3 will not be released for a long time.  V1 was released in July 9, 2015.

To be honest if you just got V1 then you have a world of learning to do.  There is nothing in V2 that will make your pictures that much better.
The secret is, that it is the artist and not the program that makes great works.
That said... There will be more sales, Affinity goes on sale a few times a year.
So hone your skills and when the time comes you can upgrade.

 
I feel for you that you just bought V1, but no one is attacking you.

[Affinity V2 Universal : Update Issue]

It does not update your V1 programs. V2 are entirely new applications that you need to download and install.

What OS are you on, and where did you purchase the Universal license?

I think I figured this out for Photo.

I hope Designer can find all my bought plugins

[Affinity V2 Universal : Update Issue]

I have been an Affinity user since day one, and just upgraded to Affinity V2 Universal License.  I read that it would just update my V1 programs so that I would not need to reinstall all my brushes and plugins.  I have waited an hour but so fast When run any of my three Affinity programs I still get V1.
I did log in in with my Affinity account before purchase.   Thoughts?

It is not correct that users with the V1 version have the same discount as those who buy V2 for the first time. I bought version V1 not even 6 months ago and now I should pay back everything as if I were a regular user. Shame!

You know I thought that at first.  But changed my mind.
I had the use of the Affinity line for years saving a lot of money over Adobe.
To be honest how much more of a discount do you want?  And extra 5% an extra 10%  in reality it is not that much more of a saving.  PLUS with the new Universal License makes the produce even a better value.
You are getting a great produce at a great value. I have no issue with them extending their generosity to others.

That said, I was hoping for a light room product, and Auto trace for Designer.
 

[Auto Trace Please]

 I really do like Affinity Designer. It is my goto for almost every project, but I really miss auto Trace.
It is such a time waste to do it by hand.  Is Auto Trace even on the road map?

[[ADe] Is there any line smoothing? (implemented)]

Five years later and we still do not have oil paint smoothing for Affinity Photo for pre-drawn lines?

I have been hoping every year for Oil Paint Filter.

[Designer Brushes Issue]

Any thoughts at all.  I have tired almost everything.

[Designer Brushes Issue]

All of a sudden I developed a brush issue for Designer (vector brushes only).
When I draw with any vector brush I get a generic round brush as a line.  If I then reselect the intended brush (or any brush)  the line looks correct.

I have restarted my computer and Designer with the same result. I have also mistakenly used the advice of Edit/Preferences/miscellaneous/Reset Brushes and now lost all my downloaded brushes.
Any suggestions on why my brushes do not look like what I selected until I draw, and have to reselect them?

Also, this issue is the same for both mouse and pen tablet

Thanks

So AfftiyPhoto  1.8.5   runs great with my my XP-Pen Monitor in low precision.  But once I change to high precision is where the same issue occurs.

Here is the log as you requested.

Thanks for your help 1.8.5 seems to have fixed the problem

 

[Major crashing and memory issues with 1.8.4.693 *SOLVED]

Tablet Input Method ?
I changed the controller to pressure, but perhaps because the program locks up I can not do the save, you requested.

If the lack of saving is not the case I can try again.  But if I draw to many lines it will crash my machine.

[Major crashing and memory issues with 1.8.4.693 *SOLVED]

Yes of course

 

[Major crashing and memory issues with 1.8.4.693 *SOLVED]

@SPaceBar 

To be clear you want me to do this with the new  Customer Beta\Designer.exe\ that works  not the old one that was crashing (1.8.4.693 ).

Both infinity Photo & Designer 1.8.4.693 work fine until I try and draw a line with my XP-Pen Drawing monitor.

This version is unusable. All other of my drawing programs work fine as well as older versions of Photo and Designer.

Where in your link does it say  printed books are still outselling ebooks by 11:1?  All i see is the word more.

At the moment, printed books are still outselling ebooks by 11:1.

This means that getting layout and printing done right is the absolute need before reaching version 2.0. Doing ebook export before everything is at the right place would make an inferior export function.

Paolo

 

Can you supply some source for the 11:1 please?

Waiting till V2.0  for ebook export would be unexceptionable, since that would mean a pay update for something  Patrick Connor said that APub would have this feature after it's initial release.

I highly disagree with your concepet of when ebook should be introduced. If ebook is not solidly in the planning structure of the program now.  It may make it very difficult or impossible to add later. Planning is key to fast solid code.
