@Jame Ritson When I change Affinity Photo's colour dropdown options back to sRGB the result is much worse, and and does not match what I see in ACDSee, Photoshop or the browser.

Hello, yes, the Spyder5Pro calibrator claims to set this system wide. I think Affinity is using the custom profile as I get message saying that it has been converted to this profile but the result does not match the other editing applications, ACDSee and Photoshop, or the browser. thank you

I have a trial version of Affinity Photo installed and it looks very promising, but I am having an issue with color profiles. Photos in Affinity photo are washed out and have less contrast than in other editing software or when I view the photo in a browser. I am using the Spyder5Pro to calibrate my screen and am using the profile created by it in each application. For example I have been using ACDSee Ultimate, it is set to use the Spyder5Pro profile and the colours are richer with better contrast. I installed a trial version of Photoshop CC , and there as well the colours are better. When I just use a browser to open a photo the colours are also better and match closely what I see in ACDSee and Photoshop. I have in Affinity photo in Preferences/Colour set the RBG Colour Profile to the profile created by the Spyder5Pro . When I open a photo with Affinity Photo I get a message saying that it has been converted to this profile but the result does not match the other editing applications or browser. Am I missing something? I like the features in Affinity Photo and would switch to it but if the colour management is off then it will not work for me. Is there a solution to this? thank you
