I've found out that in Designer (and also AP?) a imported file wouldn't be converted to the document color-space. Because this is a very important thing in creating CMYK-documents, it would be nice if imported documents are automatically converted to the document color-space, or at least there has to be a hint that the color-space of the imported file is not equal to the document color-space. Unfortunately there is no warning etc. and it is also not recognizeable at the monitor itself while creating in ADesigner. You only get the chance to see the problem if you have a look on the preprint, if it is not to late... I described the problem here: Thanks.

@owenr thanks for your explanation. But this is not the point. The point is, that if the color space of imported files would be automatically converted to the document color-space, none of these additional actions would be necessary. this is not a discussion about rasterising or hidden objects, but on treating the color right. i hope i explaned it in the right way now... thanks

The difference between import and open is clear. But it would be nice if there is NO difference in handling. Nobody spoke about simultaneously rasterising both artboards. Please test it for yourself: rasterise artboard 1 and then artboard 2. artboard 1 will then be hidden behind the „black mask“ of artboard 2. just try it and you‘ll see. @stokerg can you please move this thread to the requests forum? thanks

@firstdefence the options you described were both checked, but there was still no warning. @stokerg Rasterise was my Solution too, but: - you have to rasterise layer by layer, because if you rasterise the whole artboard, it disappears from the Export-menu. Also if you have 2 artboards and rasterise both, they are melting together to one artboard. This behavior is very confusing. - I‘m not a fan of rasterise vector-elements which are a quality factor in pdf documents. Because then i dont have to use a professional Designer product like ADesigner is. For my understanding there has to be at least a hint when importing files with another color space, or they have to be converted automatically into document color space. Another problem is, that the color space difference is not recognizable in ADesigner... Regards, Stefan Maifeier_Flyer_A5.afdesign Maifeier_Flyer_A5.pdf Maifeier_Flyer_A5_wrong.pdf

Hi all, im new here and this is my frist thread here at the affinity forum. I hope it wrote it in the right topic. So here is my first question: I just made an DIN A5 Flyer (2-sided) in Affinity Designer (Artboard). I then exported the file as PDF/X3 for the printing house and made a test-print at home. In the test-print i saw that there are some errors in the picture. These errors were imported RGB-files, that aren't converted into CMYK color space while importing. As i come from Adobe Illustrator, there is an automatic message if you import files that are in another color-space and you then have the opportunity to automatically convert the imported picture to the document color-space. Is this not possible with ADesigner? Next is, that the error was not recognizable at the monitor, only at the printout! Can anyone tell me how to configure ADesigner that this error cannot happen anymore? (before upcoming questions: the monitor has a 99%sRGB color space and is calibrated) Picture 1 shows the pdf as it is shown at the monitor Picture 2 shows the error on the printout
