Hi all, I am a newcomer with Affinity Photo in extensive usu. Earlier had only Capture One as my main s/w for editing and printing and used AP just for special editing (e.g. inpainting) and image stacking (e.g. focus, astro). Now I try to expand the use of AP and , for the beginning, made a comparison between AP and C1 printing capabilities. So I used same file (.jpg with Adobe 1998 color space), same media (Canon Glossy Photo Paper) and same printer (Epson SCP-800). Now, what I see are some differences in results. Especially reds are more dull in the print from AP. But now, which is strange to me, I realized (after quite amount of ink and paper, of course) that this problem can be overcome if I (after Opening the file in AP) run the command: Document->Assign ICC profile_>Adobe 1998. I really thought that this profile would already be taken in in opening the file. Do I have misunderstood AP behavior or what? Could someone explai, pls? I have (couple of times recently) calibrated my monitor, and files have always looked similar on display, as, I believe, it should. Thanks in advance, b.r: MarkkuS
