Larryh Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) I am doing the graphic design of a game using SVG files I was using Adobe Illustrator CC, but exporting SVG files in AI ruins the gradient, shapes, so I switched to affinity designer The problem is that when I open any SVG file, the color of the vectors looks wrong, pale, without saturation I think it could be because the color settings, and display settings When I export the file as SVG, the colors display correctly in other software, such as inkscape/illustrator (as should be) but not in affinity designer, so yeah, the problem is about displaying the colors in the software correctly _______ These are two examples of the same file open in different softwares - (Affinity open the Affinity file.PNG - SVG screenshot) __- (Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape or other software or browser open the SVG file.PNG - SVG screenshot) Edited November 18, 2019 by Larryh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted November 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 18, 2019 Hi Larryh 14 hours ago, Larryh said: I think it could be because the color settings, and display settings I agree, this will likely be due to the colour space of the document itself changing, the colour preference settings in Affinity or an ICC profile set against your monitor. With the document open in Affinity, please go File>Document Setup and select the Colour tab. What Colour Space/ Colour Profile is in use here please? Does this match the Space/Profile in Illustrator etc? Please open Affinity Designer>Preferences>Colour and provide a screenshot of your settings here. Do you have a custom ICC profile set against your monitor through your OS? Thanks in advance!

Larryh Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) The ICC profile for monitor in OS is doing fine I think, should make/add any modification? Should remove from the profile association the SRGB and left the box empty? Edited November 19, 2019 by Larryh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryh Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) I have found the reason of the issue and is not about color, is about masking and clipping, I will explain here what happened further in a moment Edited November 19, 2019 by Larryh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryh Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) The problem is that the masking shape takes the transparency that should be applied instead to the object And so, the object takes the default 100% transparency Should be in the inverse order, that is the issue, bug, inconventient I have Idk if there is a quick solution to make the transaprency apply to the correct object _ There is also other problem that makes the masking object not apply the mask to the object inside (Affinity Designer software convert the mask to a layer group instead, meaning that they are just in the same group, but there is no masking) All this when the SVG file is imported to Affinity Designer _ If you open the file in any other software or browser, the transparency is applied to the correct object I have sent a Email with a SVG file example, so you guys can check the issue Edited November 19, 2019 by Larryh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryh Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Just wondering, how often there are bug fixes updates for the software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted November 22, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 22, 2019 Bug fixes are implemented into our code almost daily - however any fixes or changes made must first go through our dev process, then tested by QA, then we release a BETA version (either publicly or privately) where the changes are tested and finally these builds are released to retail - provided they pass all previous tests. Unfortunately this means we can't provide estimates for when a bug fix may be implemented, my apologies.
