New From Clipboard isn't accurate

[Fizmarble]

I may be doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what.

I start with a blank white background and screenshot it using the built-in Windows Fullscreen Snip tool. Then I copy that and in Affinity Photo go File->New From Clipboard. Now there is a funky dinge instead of the brilliant white. Dropping the same copy and pasting it into Microsoft Paint preserves the white color. I did it multiple times to exaggerate the problem. I added a pure white rectangle next to the now-yellow one.

Take a look at this FAQ post:

Thanks @Alfred. I did the same method on my Surface Pro 6 screen instead of the external monitor, and the problem didn't occur.

Can you say why the issue wouldn't occur in Photoshop CS2 or in MS Paint?

I don’t have any expertise in this area, but my understanding is that not all applications are colour managed by default (and colour management isn’t always applied correctly, anyway).

Alright, I'll just have to be content with the fix.  Thanks again!
