COLOUR COMPRESSION?

[Nicopea]

Hi there Affinity team, a profesional photographer and designer here. Not new to Affinity designer however I have created a new file to create a Christmas sales voucher for my business. I am using one of my own Christmas images within the design. When I place the image into the file using "Place Image Tool" colour saturation plus contrast is being reduced. I have attached two screenshots the first where the lefthand image of the dog is the placed file and the righthand image is my original jpeg, also please refer to the colour info from the image file which is at 300dpi. Any pointers as to why? I have come down with a serious head cold being December! so this my be clouding my processes!?

kind regards Nick

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, Nick.

Your image is an sRGB image with the standard color profile. What color profile setting do you have for the document you're Placing it into? (File > Document Setup, then look at the Color tab.)

Hi Walt,

Thanks for the reply and yep for that is where I was going wrong, I had it set as CMYK/8. Could not see the wood for the trees.

Many Thanks

Nick
