Andy Russell Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Windows PC. Affinity Publisher Version 1.7.3 New user, switching from Serif PagePlus. I've attached a screen shot. This is white text in a black text box. It shows on the screen as a cream colour. See the true white outside the text box. The same effect can be seen when I paste in an image that has a plain white background - the white shows as cream. Quite disconcerting when I am trying to set up various colours in my text and graphics. The cream disappears when I export to pdf. Can I make it white on my screen too!

walt.farrell Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, Andy. That's generally a sign of an incorrect Windows Color Management setting for your monitor. The simplest fix is probably the one in this FAQ entry: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/99523-faq-the-apps-canvas-is-not-white-whats-happening/&tab=comments#comment-532512 For additional information, this Spotlight article might be helpful: https://affinityspotlight.com/article/display-colour-management-in-the-affinity-apps/ Alfred and mark us 2 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
