Hi @Seneca, I don't really have anything specific to say other than the team is still smashing out APIs! We've also had to go back and do some of the less interesting "that can wait" tasks, such as dealing with shut down properly e.g. you start running a script and then decide to shut down the app halfway through its execution - we need to make sure things like asynchronous ops are properly aborted / synchronous waits end gracefully. We've also been re-evaluating the high level JS layers to make sure they were intuitive and usable. We went hell for leather to get bits of the app exposed, but didn't do them in a particularly good way e.g. this kind of sucks: let clrData = new RGBA8(0, 0, 255); let clr = new Colour(clrData); and should be something much more concise like: let clr = RGB(0, 0, 255);

That's a bit tricky. It's a system palette on macOS, and if you just select it and try to export it it will exportfrom a macOS Affinity application as an Apple .clr file, and you cannot import .clr files as swatches into the Affinity applications on Windows. Workaround: Import it as a document palette into an Affinity document. Then Export it from the Swatches panel as a document palette, which will get you a .afpalette file. Then Import that file as an application palette or document palette into your Windows Affinity application. Web Safe Colors.afpalette

Affinity is a fully colour managed application, meaning your images will be displayed using colour profile conversion, based on your documents profile and screen profile, set in your OS. "My Pictures", assuming you're simply referring to the Folder where your images are saved and the built-in OS Image viewer is not colour managed, meaning the images are usually displayed as 8bit sRGB, regardless of the source file or your monitor settings. You can find out more about colour management in Affinity here - https://affinityspotlight.com/article/display-colour-management-in-the-affinity-apps/ https://affinity.help/photo2/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Clr/ClrProfiles.html&title=Colour management I hope this clears things up!

Or just put a 2 after photo in the folder path: https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Clr/ClrProfiles.html&title=Color management

So, I started here. Whatever version of help this is. https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Clr/ClrProfiles.html&title=Color management and found the instructions there. I'm on the M2Mac Mini. Affinity release 2.4 - the latest. Basically, I'm looking at how to change the icc profile of an imported image.

Instaled correct, but when launch, crash: [info@info-virtualbox winewow64-build]$ rum ElementalWarrior-8.14 $HOME/.wineAffinity wine "$HOME/.wineAffinity/drive_c/Program Files/Affinity/Photo 2/Photo.exe" Rumming /opt/wines/ElementalWarrior-8.14 (wine-7.9-8960-gc12ed146994) in: /home/info/.wineAffinity 011c:fixme:seh:WerRegisterRuntimeExceptionModule (L"C:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319\\mscordacwks.dll", 000006447F100000) stub 011c:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION 012c:err:ole:CoGetContextToken apartment not initialised 011c:fixme:ntdll:RtlGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx (000000000041BCF8) :semi-stub 011c:fixme:nls:get_dummy_preferred_ui_language (0x0 0xc0a 000000000041B540 0000000000000000 000000000041B544) returning a dummy value (current locale) 011c:fixme:nls:get_dummy_preferred_ui_language (0x0 0xc0a 000000000041B540 0000000000B39B60 000000000041B544) returning a dummy value (current locale) 011c:fixme:virtual:NtFlushProcessWriteBuffers stub 011c:fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW ((null),L".NET Runtime"): stub 011c:fixme:advapi:ReportEventW (00000000CAFE4242,0x0001,0x0000,0x00000402,0000000000000000,0x0001,0x00000000,000000000041C370,0000000000000000): stub 011c:err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Application: Photo.exe\n" 011c:err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Framework Version: v4.0.30319\n" 011c:err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.\n" 011c:err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Exception Info: System.TypeInitializationException\n" 011c:err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Stack:\n" 011c:err:eventlog:ReportEventW L" at Serif.Affinity.Application..ctor()\n" 011c:err:eventlog:ReportEventW L" at Photo.Application.Main(System.String[])\n" 011c:fixme:advapi:DeregisterEventSource (00000000CAFE4242) stub Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Serif.Affinity.Application' thre w an exception. ---> System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ExtensionAttrib ute' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. at System.ModuleHandle.ResolveMethod(RuntimeModule module, Int32 methodToken, IntPtr* typeInstArgs, Int32 typeIn stCount, IntPtr* methodInstArgs, Int32 methodInstCount) at System.ModuleHandle.ResolveMethodHandleInternalCore(RuntimeModule module, Int32 methodToken, IntPtr[] typeIns tantiationContext, Int32 typeInstCount, IntPtr[] methodInstantiationContext, Int32 methodInstCount) at System.ModuleHandle.ResolveMethodHandleInternal(RuntimeModule module, Int32 methodToken, RuntimeTypeHandle[] typeInstantiationContext, RuntimeTypeHandle[] methodInstantiationContext) at System.Reflection.CustomAttributeData..ctor(RuntimeModule scope, CustomAttributeRecord caRecord) at System.Reflection.CustomAttributeData.GetCustomAttributes(RuntimeModule module, Int32 tkTarget) at System.Reflection.CustomAttributeData.GetCustomAttributesInternal(RuntimeAssembly target) at System.Resources.ManifestBasedResourceGroveler.GetNeutralResourcesLanguage(Assembly a, UltimateResourceFallba ckLocation& fallbackLocation) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.CommonSatelliteAssemblyInit() at System.Resources.ResourceManager..ctor(String baseName, Assembly assembly) at Serif.Affinity.ResourceManager.Initialise(Assembly assembly, String resourceName) at Serif.Affinity.Application..cctor() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Serif.Affinity.Application..ctor() at Photo.Application.Main(String[] args) wine: Unhandled exception 0xe0434352 in thread 11c at address 0000000174013BC7 (thread 011c), starting debugger...

Layers are a very constructive way of working as they give you a lot of flexibility. You can Group logical objects to keep everything organised or use Layers (Capital L) as mentioned above if you wish to control the visibility of different elements in an exported PDF file... As also mentioned above you can Merge Curves or use Add New Curve To Selected Curves Object though based on the example you provided these options aren't going to work... I would advise keeping everything in logical Groups or Layers and also taking a look at things like Global Colours along with Select Same and Select Object as options which may be helpful when constructing your map... https://affinity.help/designer2/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Clr/globalClr.html&title=Global colours https://affinity.help/designer2/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/ObjectControl/selectByAttribute.html&title=Selecting objects by attribute If you have any specific, 'How do I do?' questions please feel free to ask as there are many here willing to provide help and suggestions as to the best way to achieve things...

You could directly use the Gradient tool and the bitmap fill to fill your shape: https://affinity.help/publisher2/en-US.lproj/pages/Clr/gradientEditor.html Select only one of your little squares Export this selection to .png or another bitmap format With the Move tool, select your shape to fill Choose the Gradient tool From the Finder, drag the .png file to the Color or Swatches panel This should fill your shape with multiple copies of your bitmap image — you can change its size and rotation if you select the Gradient tool when the object (shape) is selected.

Have you tried simply defining a Spot Color, and giving it a name of RDG_WHITE, and assigning it to your background layer? Perhaps, in Affinity Photo, you don't need to use Channels at all. (I can't try this myself, lacking access to the Roland equipment.) https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/pages/Clr/spotClr.html

https://affinity.help/publisher2/en-US.lproj/pages/Clr/gradientEditor.html

Is it indeed the use of these particular profiles? As far I see their visual results can also get achieved with adjustment or filter layers, most of them quite simple and with more flexibility regarding the desired colour. If you crave more preset color options, there is also the wide range of “LUT” … not to mention “OCIO” with more room to figure out a 1-click workflow for further color options. https://affinity.help/publisher/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Clr/ocio.html&title=Using OpenColorIO

You can convert a RGB/8 document to a grey/8 document in Photo by one click if this is all you desire. https://affinity.help/photo2/English.lproj/pages/Clr/ClrModels.html From the Document menu, choose Convert Format / ICC Profile. Choose a new colour format from the top combo box then click Convert.

Hi, can you elaborate a bit more? which app Photo / Designer? do you try to Convert document format, or is your question related to color panel? https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/pages/Clr/ClrModels.html a screenshot of the function you try to use?

I exported my color program palette from Mac and tried to import it to the iOS version, but it doesn't work. The file is grey and not choosable. I am using iOs 16.2 on iPad 6. Generation. Perhaps a problem with the file dialog of iOS. Exporting does not work either.

In this case possible difficulties may increase when the Fill/Gradient Tool and its "Bitmap Fill" gets used that you and @firstdefence mentioned before. Its limited interface for pattern creation with reduced visual and missing numerical control may cause more issues or questions than just the "force pixel aligned" setting. – So a user who wants to use "Bitmap Fill" may need quite more hints for a pixel perfect workflow than this @GuineaPig's thread currently seems to require. https://affinity.help/publisher2/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Tools/tools_gradient.html?title=Gradient Tool https://affinity.help/publisher2/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Clr/gradientEditor.html?title=Gradient and bitmap fills Personally I would rather recommend NOT to use the Fill/Gradient Tool and "Bitmap Fill" for such a task, just because it could require more precision than the tool interface offers to the user. Instead it may work well to create a pattern artwork with other features like "Move Data Entry", "Symbol" (AD), "Symmetry" (AD, for pixel) … which may exceed this or another thread about "How to fill a shape with an image" but would rather meet "How to create seamless pattern".

To quickly change the color of objects that you created and assigned colors to (i.e., vector objects, text, etc…. not a photo), I would use global colors so that the colors can easily be changed. https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/pages/Clr/globalClr.html

Though your provided crash reports do always indicate ... ... that the mscorlib.ni.dll (Microsoft Common Language Runtime Class Library) and clr.dll (.Net Common Language Runtime), which are both parts of the .Net framework, to be here execution wise involved into the crash problems, when Serif's interop persona DLL finally crashes.

We could distinguish: Colour model is the general "language" in which colours are defined in an image. — https://affinity.help/publisher/English.lproj/pages/Clr/ClrModels.html Pixels can be defined either: by only a bit each (solid black/white only) — FWIK, this is not available in Affinity. by a byte or two (gray scale/8 or grayscale/16) — which means that the range from 0% to 100% is represented by values between 0 and 255, or 16535. by a byte, or two, for each of the three colour channels RGB by a byte for each of the four CMYK channels by two bytes for Lab colour space Colour spaces are representations of all the different colours reproducible (gamut) in a certain colour model, for certain circumstances or devices. — https://affinity.help/publisher/English.lproj/pages/Clr/aboutClrSpaces.html You could compare it to a dictionnary… They are specified in the Colour profiles (hence a common confusion. But sometimes, the term Colour space is also used in place of Colour model…) Colour profiles specify which "flavour" (which accent, like Scottish or Australian, if we think about colour model as a language) of the colour model will be used and then ensure comprehension. — https://affinity.help/publisher/English.lproj/pages/Clr/ClrProfiles.html They can be generic, standard or device specific. They will match colours indicated in the document to an absolute reference colour space, according to their own colour space. They are used to determine which exact value(s) (between 0–255) will be used to represent a specific colour in a certain colour space, corresponding to a specific technique (e.g. sheet offset printing with US inks on uncoated paper) or machine. ++++++++++++ Actually, not exactly. Last century, usual workflow was to require prepress operators to separate images in CMYK values, leaving them this responsibility. Since colour management systems were better understood, RGB workflow — up to the last export — has been increasingly common, but there are still old printers, old machines, and old habits! ++++++++++ My practical advice You coud certainly ask your printer to make himself the RGB-CMYK conversion (I agree with you it's a task to leave to professionals mastering it), but then you should offer him a special fee for this extra task. He will generally do it benevolently but will nonetheless appreciate your proposition… +++++++++ BTW, about the "mathematically impossible 300%"… I give you a full bag of cherries, a full bag of plums and a full bag of apples. You then have three full bags… If you have 75% of ink coverage for each of the CMY colours and 100% of black, you'll have 325% total ink coverage on the paper. Adding blue and red inks under black is used to reinforce the darkest parts of an image: you'll get a richer black, with profound nuances. But this is not recommended for tiny elements, like text, for registration problems (misalignments between colours). More than 300-330% (or about, depending on the paper, inks, etc.) of total ink coverage will not dry correctly and maculate. Colour profile used when converting from the RGB colour space to CMYK can check and manage this.

(Searching revealed several loosely related existing posts on this topic but I found no answers, so I'm asking) Although I'm sure there are corners where I'm fuzzy, I pretty much grasp color models, spaces, gamuts, profiles, soft proofing, etc. at a working level. Per the subject, I'm asking about the Document | Convert Format / ICC Profile and Document | Assign ICC Profile menu choices in the context of what Photo actually does. I've looked through the Help and found only a very little specific info. Maybe it's there and I'm missing it, but without a per-menu-choice index it can be challenging to find information on a specific operation. https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Clr/ClrProfiles.html?title=Color management Much of what's in Help sounds related to soft-proofing based on the language, which is a different matter. The "Assigning Color Profiles" section at the link above uses both "color profile" and "working color space" somewhat interchangeably. For example: Document | Convert Format / ICC Profile It says this will "change the document's color profile". Does this mean it will actually change the color space? That's what it looks like based on the dialog box. The profile is what describes and documents the space. Document | Assign ICC Profile Nothing found. Does this refer to simply writing a profile to metadata? ...and as long as I'm asking... File | Import ICC Profile Nothing found. Does selecting a profile here simply make it available in the two above dialog boxes? If so, how do we edit the list afterward if necessary? At this point it's mostly curiosity. I raw-develop and save in ProPhoto (separate app), TIFF-edit (with AP) in ROMM RGB -- i.e., ~ProPhoto -- then JPG-export in sRGB as the last step. So my workflow is OK, I'm just trying to understand what AP does. Thanks.

https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Clr/ClrProfiles.html?title=Colour management To change your document's colour profile at any time: From the Document menu, select Convert Format / ICC Profile. Select a profile from the list in the dialog. Click Convert. There you can choose another profile only but also change the colour space.

To put it humorously: You'll have to engage in voodoo! But seriously: There is some kind of a major flaw or bug when it comes to gradient overprint, and the workaround we've figured out some time ago is indeed close to voodoo. Check out my recent post here: Alternatively – if your printer accepts PDFs with transparency à la PDF/X-4 – you can use the Multiply blend mode which usually shouldn't rasterize anything below. https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Layers/layerBlendModes.html https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Clr/selectingClr.html In general, you really may want to read at least some chapters of the built-in help files and watch a few video tutorials. They really do help. For the record, it took me 5 years since I bought Designer in 2014 until I was ready to give up Adobe CS5.5. A significant part of the process is to forget about the Adobe Mindset™ because many of the so called Adobe "industry standard workflows" were in fact just decades old ugly workarounds. Been there done that, too. Whereas Serif was bold enough to try new workflows with Affinity. Some are frankly a bit hit-or-miss and some still have bugs but the overall concept of the "Affinity Trinity" was a smart move.
