Everything is going to the screen with screen profiles applied, taking into account the document format and colour profiles. You should find you get the same colour results with the same setups in all other colour-managed applications. I'm fairly certain it's all acting correctly (or at least, it certainly used to and I can't imagine why it has changed, lol!) It's not an incredibly complicated area, but it's lengthy to explain - take a browse through some 'colour management for screen' google searches

Absolutely no idea - but I can guarantee you it's not doing anything naughty in any way. I'll try to find out. Where are the apps from? (Affinity Store or Mac App Store)?

...and the answer to your questions, is almost certainly: Colour Profiles!

WONDERFUL! I'm a big fan of engines! You don't take requests do you? 2ZZ naturally aspirated?

Well, I for one will be sad to see you go...

Can I ask what version of macOS you're on? I can see the original report was against Monterey (macOS 12.1) - but I absolutely cannot reproduce this error... it just asks me if I'd like to overwrite the files and then exports when I say to... (for reference, I'm currently on macOS Ventura)

Sorry Mike I will get there - but there's always so many other priorities that it's difficult to do everything at the same time... It *is* important - and *will* get done. I've got about 4 things in my head at the moment that I'm hoping to get done imminently, but I'll try to keep this up there...

Okay, but the apps are distributed as a free download that starts a trial. At some point the trial will run out unless you decide to buy. You either buy through an App Store, or from us directly. That's the only 'online' requirement going on here. It's exactly the same as before, but you make the purchase 'after-the-fact'? Is it not?

Hi! You'll need an internet connection at some point within the trial period to sign in to your Affinity ID or buy the In-App Purchase (depending on where you downloaded from) but after that, you never need to be online again.

Awesome!

Yep, you've bought a Universal Licence, you should expect to be able to install it on any machines you own and use them as you please.

They do not interact in any way. You can have both on one machine without issue
