  1. +1 for a change. As of now, I need to use another program just for developing raw-files.

    Could the Highlights & Shadows sliders in the develop persona affect their respective exposure instead of their levels?

     

    Thanks for your input. I've been asking myself what's "wrong" there. Now I finally know what's going on.

     

    And thanks @James Ritson for your workaround. I'm hoping to see some progress here soon (9 months passed by now).

    My question was, how do you set the individual paper colours.

     

    You get that info from the ICC profile: Paper color via white point tag and black ink via black point tag. I'm not too sure on how they accommodate for colour. It's more about brightness. Anyway: You need to set up one ICC profile per every paper-printer combination you want to use. Yes, depending on how many papers and printers you are using, that will be a lot of profiles.

     

    But this doesn't fully answer your question: How to find out the correct black and white point tags and implement those into an ICC profile? I need to pass on that one. Fortunately, I only need to apply the profiles. I don't need to set them up. :7_sweat_smile:

    It is an adjustment layer so you can just toggle it on & off in the Layers panel. If you watch the suggested videos this should be a lot clearer.

     

    Yes I know. But this would also turn off the soft proof. Therefore makes no sense.

    It doesn't.

     

    But I am curious, how do you set the paper colour ?

     

    I can't imagine how many different colours of paper there are that would need to be simulated.

     

    If that is ture, then good to know. Thank you for a clear answer. 

    You set it in the ICC profile. Other programs do it as well. This is no witchcraft. 

     

    Maybe I just haven't been clear enough. All I wan to know is where to find the options marked in the screenshot below. And if Affinity Photo doesn't offer them, then I'd need to know if those are on or off by default.

    As I understand it, there is no default paper simulation unless you use a soft proof adjustment, explicitly select a document color profile from the Assign or Convert menu items, or (unusual) there is already one embedded in the file, and that profile is for a specific printer, ink, & paper combination.

     

    I agree with yout. There is no paper simulation during "normal work" outside of the soft proof. That would make no sense. 

    Still: If the soft proof adjustment does add paper simulation, then I need to know how to turn it on and off. Sometimes I need it in the soft proof, sometimes I don't.

    Why would you assume that? How would AP even know which of the potentially dozens of different printer, ink, & paper combinations you intended to use for printed output?

     

    I assume that because with the profile I need to use for a specific print, blacks get turned into grays. That's typical for paper simulation.

    They could know it by reading the information in the ICC profile.

    Not something I have much experience with, but as I understand it the idea is to select the profile that corresponds to your printer & paper.

     

    Yes sure. That's what option 1 is for. 

     

    I've attached a screenshot from "a popular image editing software". On the bottom you can see two checkboxes. I'm looking for those.

    I assume that Affinity Photo is simulating paper color by default. I need to turn it off. 

  7. Hello Affinity community!

     

    I'm using Affinity Photo 1.5.2.69 on Windows 10.

    The soft proof adjustment offers me the following options:

    1. select profile
    2. Rendering Intent
    3. Black point compensation
    4. Gamut Check
    5. Opacity
    6. Blend Mode
    7. Blend Options

     

    But where can I enable or disable "simulate paper color"? I can't find it.

     

    Thanks for your help!
