  1. This is a Color Test (for my own illumination) and I'm sure others will have some wisdom to share. In the past, the safe route was to work in a wider gamut color space to preserve color and avoid premature clipping (ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB, P3, etc), then convert my small JPG files to sRGB for emailing and web posts to be sure other saw essentially what I saw (limited to sRGB, of course). That was a good approach for images heading to an inkjet or to a press too because sRGB whacked a lot of colors that can be printed using CMYK inks (not to mention additional ink colors and spot colors). I have a good friend who is an experienced, color management professional and it's his opinion that converting to sRGB is no longer necessary (with a few limited exceptions here and there). Most browsers and email clients are color managed these days. I respect his judgement, but it's always nice to test and get some confirmation and feedback, which is what this post is all about. I created a composite image in AP v2.4.0 and used Apple's Display-P3 profile in this file. I purposely chose an image that has skin tones, some subtle shades, some bright colorful portions, then added some grayscale and fully saturated color patches for evaluation. I wanted any differences to be visible if they existed. ( I haven't viewed the results on this forum yet, as I am still creating the original post.) I'll attach the original AP file, along with 3 different exported JPG versions, all 2000px on the long side, at 85% JPG quality. 1. First, I exported the Display P3 original from AP and embedded the Display P3 profile in my first export. On my Retina display, that is the brightest JPG of the three, since my display IS a P3 display. So, the color patches retain their original saturation and brightness. 2. Next, I exported the Display P3 file from AP, but on export, I converted the file to sRGB 1966 and embedded that profile in the export. As expected, the saturated color patches are less saturated because they are now clipped to the smaller sRGB gamut. The rest of the image looks pretty much identical on my Retina display and also on an old Viewsonic sRGB gamut LCD display (about 15 years old). That is what I was expecting and hoping for. 3. The third JPG image export I did differently. First, I converted my original AP file from Display P3 to sRGB. Then, I exported to sRGB. The color patches look the same as in No. 2 above, which I expected. My daughter also looks the same overall. However, I was a bit surprised to see that the foliage in the background showed a tonal shift (slightly darker) compared the the sRGB exported from a Display P3 working space. This was the same result on my Retina and Viewsonic monitors. As mentioned, I haven't seen the result as posted on the forum yet, but I will after clicking the "Submit" button. By the way, I chose Apple's "Display-P3" profile for this test. Why? It uses a tone curve that looks identical (or at least very similar) to the tone curve in sRGB. This should minimize any tonal changes between sRGB and Display P3 (which is why I was a bit surprised to see the foliage in No.3 above different from No. 2 above). DCI-P3 (at least the version I have) is an ICC v2 profile and was supposedly designed with cinemas and theaters in mind, so they use a very low white luminance and a gamma of 2.6. For the work I do, I felt Display P3 made more sense. BTW, the Apple Display-P3 profile I have is an ICC v4 profile. So, there it is. I suspect some people will have some interesting feedback, so bring it on!! I'm about to click Submit, so I'll get a look at the post at the same time you do. Thanks. P3-sRGB Test.afphoto
  2. Hi all, I'm new to the Affinity Suite and am a bit confused about color management (and noticable difference in color rendering compared to Adobe)... Maybe someone can help me out here? I'll attach the relevant data if someone wants to try out him/herself. Also, I'll use Publisher below, but i also checked with Affinity Photo - same story. I have also already printed the shot attached, so i know how it finally did print and the Adobe softproof is nailing it while the Affinity softproof is quite off. Start with opening the template*.idml attached. It's a print template to be used by the print store... First confusing thing here: They mention to do the full workflow in sRGB, but the document itself opens with CMYK in Publisher. Import the jpg attached (the jpg is sRGB). You'll immediately notice the color gamut problem when importing in this CMYK document. Save the file as "CMYK.afpup". Now in document settings, change the color space in this publisher document to sRGB. Save the publisher file under a new name e.g. "sRGB.afpub". Open both publisher documents side by side Now add a soft proof adjustment layer to both files, i have attached the relevant *.icc file, too. Use "Relative colormetric" as intend and "black point compensation". My findings are: When working with the document in CMYK, the color rendering is way off (the pinks are way too blown out. There is significantly more detail and texture in the final print). When adding the softproof layer it corrects the orange/reddish inner part of the blossoms correctly, but the pinks are still wrong. When working with the document in sRGB, the color rendering is at least ok (well it's sRGB, so yes nothing changes). However when i apply the soft proof layer to this file, then the contrast of the full soft proof picture decreases rather significantly (mostly visible around the butterfly). Also something that I don't see in the final print. So either way, things are off. Am i doing something wrong? If i export from either of both files (of course with the softproof layer disabled) to a PDF in print quality, sRGB and import this PDF into Photoshop and use the Soft Proof Function there, it works just perfectly fine (and is extremely close to the final print). Disclaimers: I have of course checked to have the soft proof options aligned. With that, I'm a bit lost how to adapt my workflow... it seems maybe it's best to just use sRGB for the document and don't do any softproofing in Publisher itself but export to PDF and do it in Photoshop then? Rather tedious... Thanks a lot for any help... Best regards! Christian template_42x28.idml SaalDigital_Fotobuch_matt_10-15.icc
  3. I am dabbling in Affinity Publisher for the first time, having decided to create a zine using Publisher and possibly getting Mixam to print. Mixam require PDFs to use the CMYK colour space. (Please pardon my terminology if wrong) The zine will contain many photos and some text. All the photos are currently sRGB. Am I right in thinking that when sRGB images are imported into a PDF that is set up with CMYK colour space / mode, the images will be automatically converted to CMYK? I understand that the conversion will impact the colour rendition to some extent. I also understand that it is sensible to commission a proof from the printer to check on color rendition. I presume that there is some image editing capability within Publisher - in the Photo Persona?
  4. Hello, New to the Forum. Hope I’m in the right section? I recently watched James Ritson’s video regarding where it’s better to edit in ROMM RGB and not sRGB, of which I did, but I noticed one big difference, and that is, my image edited in ROMM RGB is a lot softer than the same image edited is sRGB; both with the same High Pass filter settings. Just wondering what I’ve done wrong, and is there a way to fix this problem? Cheers! Tony
  5. I'm trying to increase the resolution of a series of vector graphics I did several months ago for printing by Lulu (requires sRGB rather than CMYK). The composite graphics (crossword grids) were designed for onscreen usage, so the overall resolution was left at 96 dpi, but I now realize that my new Affinity Designer (first time usage) has a rescale option. I have increased the dpi from 96 to 300 and maintained RGB/8 (not RGB/16 or RGB/32), I then exported to PNG and PSD (preserve accuracy), but I don't see any visible difference besides a more than doubling in file size. I plan to use Affinity Publisher to incorporate the grids into the final book. Will the reworked crossword grids be sharp enough for printing? Q--6th draft.psd
  6. Hi, see attached the color difference of the file in the program and exported as jpg with JPEG high quality settings. Also see the second attachement for my colors settings, they are in german but I think you find the values. Thanks for any help in advance!
  7. GEAR: Affinity Photo for iPad 1.6.12.86 on an iPad Pro 9.7” ISSUE: My default RGB Profile is Adobe RGB for working with raw images. When I choose "Export” and then change the ICC Profile to “sRGB” the resulting JPEG remains with the Adobe RGB profile. Is there something simple I’m missing on the iPad version to ensure exported images are given the proper ICC profile? (Note: I'm a long-time user of Affinity products, so asking this question is a bit embarrassing, but I think I’ve been looking at this problem for too long after processing a large batch of images that all ended up with the wrong color profile. )
  8. I looked in the forums and google but i couldn't really find a solid answer. Im working on an album cover and normally for all my work (regardless of if i plan to print or not i) just set it to "print" when i open a new document. I may have fiddled a bit with the profiles in the past but i cant remember what the default is. does it make any difference?
  9. Hello, i'm just trying out Affinity Photo and like it very much so far. But i encountered a strange problem for which i don't have an explanation. Here is what i did: 1. In Capture One 11 i chose "Edit with" for one of my Sony Raw files (ARW). In the popup i chose Format: PSD 16bit, ICC Profile: AdobeRGB(1998) Open with: Affinity Photo 2. On click Capture One creates an psd file and the picture opens in Affinity Photo 1.6.5.135. But the colors look different as in CaptureOne. Actually the colors look a lot like when i export the same picture as sRGB jpeg and open it e.g. in xnview. 3. The strange thing is: If i now assign the sRGB ICC profile in Affinity Photo (Document --> Assign ICC profile) to the picture it looks correct (as with AdobeRGB in Capture One and Xnview). See attached images. Image All_AdobeRGB (First picture): The same image displayed by Capture One, Xnview and Affinity Photo 1.6.5.135 with the embedded ICC profile information AdobeRGB. You can clearly see that the colors in Affinity Photo are different to the two other programs. Image sRGB_assigned_in_Affinity (Second Picture): The same image displayed by Capture One and Xnview with the embedded ICC profile information AdobeRGB. And the same image displayes by Affinity Photo 1.6.5.135 with the sRGB color profile assigned. Now all three look more or less the same. Very strange for me. OS: Win10 Pro Does someone have an explanation?
  10. Hi, My Affinity-edited photos as seen on others' devices & a calibrated projector have come out EXTREMELY over exposed. They look fine on my monitor. I have calibrated the monitor. Someone noticed the 'profile' dropdown in the Develop persona is set my default to Adobe RGB. I was told that this should always be sRGB. I can't find a way to update the default to one of the sRGB settings permanently. I have been doing my RAW conversion in Cannon's DPP as 1) RAW files don't have thumbnails & look terrible (under exposed & under saturated) in Affinity as my camera (Canon 77D) is not yet recognised by Affinity & 2) DPP has an easy way to 'fix' under & over exposed parts of the image that Affinity can't do as well as being able to view the RAW images. I then do further processing in Affinity. It appears that I will need to go into the Develop persona & change the 'profile' value before developing & exporting the image every time. Is this a common problem? Is the fix correct? Does this relate at all to my camera not being recognised? (also is there an ETA / release when this camera will be included?) I can't provide a screen dump of the images as seen by others as they look fine on my monitor but very embarrassing showing images at my camera club . Any enlightenment would be appreciated . Thanks Julie
  11. Hi all, (Digression: A quick "thank you" to all who replied to my first post - sorry I am so tardy but I shall reply soon. Appreciated.) (Apology: I have searched for colour spaces but not found this - apologies if this is a duplicate question.) Situation: I have just started using Affinity by importing seven similar tripod-shot rural photographs, each 1/3rd of a stop separated, for the purpose of bracketing and / or HDR. All were shot using Adobe RGB Colour Space. However, I notice that Affinity seems to be operating in sRGB. Questions: (i) How can I avoid Affinity converting to sRGB? and (ii) How can I ensure I am always operating in Adobe RGB whilst in Affinity? Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you in anticipation. MBF.
  12. AP Beta 1.5.0.43 still bad reads the color profiles in Nikon's JPG files. The picture was taken in Adobe RGB color space - AP indicates sRGB. I have to manually assign the correct profile. Sorry for my English :)
  13. Hi, I need a precise gradient in 32-bit mode, to go from left to right. (I use it as a texture in a game - the values control some math functions over time.) The "Noise" value is set to 0 (or so I guess, because there is no numerical input). Yet still there is a visible dither. I use version 1.5.0.35. Win 7 64-bit, NVidia GTX 760, newest drivers.

  14. I exported an Affinity Photo RAW file as a Photoshop file and it opened up only in sRGB. I went to preferences in Affinity and changed eveything to Adobe RGB. I still get sRGB anyways. I there anything I can do?
  15. I wasn't able to find an answer, so I have to ask for help with Affinity Designer. 1) I have a new document for Web, with color format RGB/8 and color profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1. 2) I create rectangle and in Color (or Swatch) pane I choose this color: RGB(73,130,23). 3) When I use Apple Digital Color Meter (showing native values) and point on color "in document window", it says RGB(73,130,23). 4) But when I point Digital Meter on any toolbar element with this color (Swatch, preview, recent colors), it says RGB(66,130,45). 5) And what's worse - when I export to PNG, DCM still says RGB(66,130,45). And as far as I tested, any other software identify this color as RGB(66,130,45). What am I doing wrong ? Thanks for any suggestion. I have just tried AD Beta 1.1.2.23308 and this is fixed !
