RyderCM Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hello, I'm having a weird issue where the colour of something created within design isn't being transferred correctly when uploading and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. It will save the colour I want it, export the colour I want it, but when I go to upload it to anything, it'll change the colour. attached is the source files as well png's of what I mean. the red is what I want, but whenever I go to upload it or do anything with it, it turns the colour from red to brownish. For the life of me, I don't know what is causing this issue, and I haven't found any information anywhere else as to what could be causing this. If anyone has any kind of information as to what's happening or of a solution to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there 🙂 I see the colors just fine when I export it with default JPG and PNG settings on a calibrated monitor in a calibrated workflow. Your document color setting is correct (for normal screen use): RGB/8 and srgb iec61966. Make sure that you don't have some weird ICC setting in the export -> more settings. It should be "use document profile" or srgb IEC61966 and embed ICC profile should be checked. So where do you "upload it" and in what software do you see it presented brownish?

Uploading it to literally anything would change the colour to the brownish. I uploaded it to twitter, discord, YouTube, twitch, anything, and it made it look brownish. I went into the export more settings and I had nothing selected. I changed it to use document format and changed the ICC profile to srgb iec61966 and it works now, thanks a million! Your help is very much appreciated! Jowday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still not sure why your browser etc. shows the image with brown colors. Perhaps this article can give a hint? https://affinityspotlight.com/article/display-colour-management-in-the-affinity-apps/ Maybe your computer has a monitor profile installed etc. Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

It sounds to me that: the document color profile is not sRGB, and the exported copy did not have a color profile embedded. At that point, the other programs are probably assuming sRGB, and displaying the colors incorrectly. The OP changed the output format to sRGB, and embedded the profile, and then it worked.

Not the case. The attached documents are configured for sRGB, as I mentioned in an earlier post: Quote I see the colors just file when I export it with default JPG and PNG settings on a calibrated monitor in a calibrated workflow. Your document color setting is correct (for normal screen use): RGB/8 and srgb iec61966. As seen here: So something outside the document color setup is the issue.
