I shoot on B&W film, scan my negatives (usually as .tiff), and desire to edit an manipulate from there.  I have downloaded the trial version of photo to see if it is a product I wish to purchase.  Currently when I open any of my .tiff files, which are crisp B&W with shades of grey in any other viewer or editor, they open in Affinity Photo with a sepia cast.  I have not been able to find any settings or online help guides to guide me in correcting this.  If I can't open my B&W photos correctly in Photo, it's not a useful product for me.  Please help.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

A little more information, please. What program do you use to perform the sanning? And exactly what output options do you specify in that program?

Also, when you open them, does Photo give you any warnings? And do you end up with a grayscale image or an RGB image?

It is also interesting that UI applications are also colored in sepia.

This is what it looks like for me.

Normally I would advise you to set the ICC profile of the monitor in the OS, but this should only affect the rendering on the canvas, not on the UI.
