I've been experimenting, and it does look like it is in CMYK color format in Photo, but RGB in Designer. No matter what I try in Designer, I cannot convert the format to CMYK. (I tried creating a new CMYK file and pasting in the images from photo to designer, but the format goes back to RGB, and I cannot change it. Sometimes designer crashes when I try. I have been creating the same type of files for years. I have never had a problem with the colors, and I do sometimes go back and forth between designer and photo. I work mostly in designer, though, and I'm pretty sure the original files were created there. And the colors used to be the same in both places. The issue started after I updated Designer.

Thank you for letting me know how to follow the thread. I uploaded a sample to the link you provided. When I pull the file up in Photo, the colors are correct. When I pull the same photo up in Designer, the colors are wrong. I have tried to click on document setup to see if the color profile is different in each program, but Designer freezes every time I click on document setup. It only seems to happen in the files with the color problem. (There are several.)

momsthewordus started following Designer keeps freezing up, Affinity crashing and color issue in 1.8.5 and Warp Feature

Ever since updating to the latest version of Affinity Designer 1.8.5, I have had lots of problems. I've had to switch a lot of my work to Affinity Photo. (I frequently switch back and forth because Designer is missing a feature I need.) Affinity Designer crashes when I have large files, and the colors come up funny--almost like the color format or profile has been changed. I can't show a screen shot because the files I'm working on can't be shared publicly yet. Oops, I forgot to click notify me of replies, so now I won't see them. Wish I could figure out how to fix that! (I'm editing my submission right now.)

Warp Feature
momsthewordus replied to momsthewordus's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer on Desktop
Thank you, Carl123. That tool is just what I need. Like Glicky said, I would also love to see perspective and warp tool in designer. That type of feature is the only reason that I need both programs right now. -
Warp Feature
momsthewordus replied to momsthewordus's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer on Desktop
Oops. I'm going to include a better image of the photoshop stuff. I realized the image wasn't accurate. -
Adobe photoshop has a feature called warp that I would love to see in Affinity Photo. When you click on the warp feature, it looks similar to the perspective feature in Photo (with the grid over the image). The difference with warp is that instead of only the four spots (points that can be dragged) on the four corners, each intersection of the grid is a moveable point. This is particularly useful when trying to make shadows that make papers or cards look curled. The warp feature allows the user to bend a shadow in the center of a side instead of just pulling out the corners. I'll attach an image to show you what I mean.

Designer keeps freezing up
momsthewordus replied to momsthewordus's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I just tried copying my images into a new document and resaving. I was then able to use the document setup feature. I appears the problem was specific to the two files I was working with. Weird. -
My designer program keeps freezing indefinitely. (I left it frozen overnight, and it never recovered.) The program is not creating crash reports because it is not crashing. It stays open and is completely unresponsive. Currently, the problem happens every time I click on the document setup button. The program doesn't show that it is working on a process. It does not show a spinning icon (the kind that shows when the computer is thinking). It does not give the message that the program is unresponsive. It just freezes. The only way to close it is by opening the task manager. The task manager does not show that the program is having any issue, even though it is frozen. I have to close the program from the task manager. I am using Windows 10, and version 1.7.1404 of designer. Thanks for your help. The program seems quite glitchy since my last update. (I updated my computer and windows a few days ago, so that is all up to date.)

A feature I really miss in Affinity is my current layer always showing inside the list in the layers panel. In other programs, when I click on a layer in my image, that layer will automatically be visible in the layers panel. (The list of layers automatically scrolls to the current layer so that I can edit it from the panel easily.) Currently, when I click on a layer in my image, I have to scroll through all of the layers to find the layer in the panel. The layer is highlighted so that I can easily identify it, but it's still a pain to scroll through everything when my image is made up of tons of layers. It's very time consuming to find the layer I am looking for. I'd like it to automatically show in the layers panel. I'd love to see that as an automatic feature in the future. (If the feature is already there, and I just need to change a setting, I'd love to know how to do it. (I think it should be the default feature.) Actually, I just checked. There is an option in the user interface to "Show selection in layers panel." I do have that checked. Maybe that just means that it highlights the selection. It does not scroll the selection to the visible part of the panel.
