[Affinity Publisher - Problems when changing color profile]

Thank you.

 

I still see a much greater shift in colours than I would expect when changing modes. For now I will just have to work around it and adjust it as I go.

[Affinity Publisher - Problems when changing color profile]

I have some problems with colours when changing colour format. From time to time i have to adapt designs made for web to print or the other way around. 

I'm used to programs like photoshop that do a fairly good conversion so that the colours look and print mostly the same after conversion. When I do it in affinity publisher the colours are all over the place. The results are the same whether I just export in another colour format, convert the document or paste it into another document with another format.

This file was created in RGB:

 

This is what it looks like when i change to CMYK:

...as you can imagine the final print from this is not close to what I want.

I have done a bit of testing and the results are similar. I first thought that it was worse when working with transparencies but even flat colours are changed more than I would expect. Some blending modes are worse though: see the blue shape that is almost black in the CMYK version.

Is there any way to get better results or am I just doing the wrong somehow? I can export as an image and the convert in PS but that is not optimal in any way.

I hope you can help

[Fine tuning hue of selected color range]

I just want to add my support for this feature to be implemented. 

[Last update - can't save files]

I got this error too.

I found out what caused it and a workaround:
I had placed some .svg files in the project. That worked fine. When I duplicated the layer folder with the svg's and used them again with different settings I got the same error and couldn't save my file. If I deleted the duplicate folder and instead placed the same svg's again, I could save once more.

I hope it help if your problems was caused by something similar.
