Cannot Get Spot colors to PDF
photoretouchpro replied to photoretouchpro's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
It would be great to be able preview separations/channels including spot colors in Affinity(all) like Adobe does. It would have saved a bunch of time testing and for preflighting future files. Also helpful, "mixed" or "multi" ink swatches(Nchannels). -

Cannot Get Spot colors to PDF
photoretouchpro replied to photoretouchpro's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
I have been busy testing spot colors in Affinity and have succeeded it getting spot colors to output. I had to modify the way I built objects and could only do it in publisher not photo but it works. I don't think I can move from Adobe at this time (professional work) but hopefully in the future. I will post the file and resulting pdf for reference. moontestPub.pdf moontest.afpub -

Cannot Get Spot colors to PDF
photoretouchpro replied to photoretouchpro's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
I added them from the list of pantone colors in the swatches panel. I renamed the first global color to match the pantone name. -
I have created a test file for spot color output. I cannot get the spot colors to output to spot only cmyk or rgb. I have tried PDFx4, PDFx3 and PDF1.7 in Affinity photo 1.7.3 and 1.8. Any guidance on this is appreciated. I am trying to use Affinity as an alternative to Adobe. See attached for file screenshot. Attached working file also. moontest.afphoto

A few issues

Add Denoise to the above list about an automatic contrast increase on CMYK vs RGB images. -

I have noticed when using the color adjustments (HSL Adjust, Color Balance, Vibrance, etc.) on a CMYK image there is an automatic contrast increase even when the sliders are set to zero. This should be fixed. Thanks. -

Color sampler tool ?
photoretouchpro replied to csp's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
Yes. I think at least 4 sample points should be available to be locked and referenced for color correction. I have not seen this necessary functionality either. -
Maybe for a future version when out of beta you could add support for Spot Colors(PMS, Varnish, Hexachrome, etc.) Photoshop has a very limited feature set for this (channels) and I would think you could do better. Contact me if you need ideas. ;)

Hey guys, I like where this app is going, here are some of my findings: 16bit CMYK tif loads incorrectly white balance ruins black point on CMYK images previews in the adjustments randomly disappear and cannot be selected shadow highlight adjustment needs refinement (as it is now it is more of a contrast control) I would like to see more colors in selective color (orange and purple, for example) I would like to see auto added to white balance and color temperature values Great work so far, more to come.
