BrandOutfitters Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Two things: 1) When I import an existing AI file, the CMYK values change in Affinity compared to the original file in Illustrator. 2) After making color changes, I then output the vector logo using web coated SWOP v2 color space and relative colorimetric settings. Opening it in Photoshop (5.1) or Illustrator (5.1), I see the CMYK values all change. Have the values in the Affinity file actually changed, or is the nature of going between the different software packages? Bottom line is I want to trust my assigned CMYK values in the file are preserved and correctly interpreted by pre-press.

Dave Harris Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Probably an ICC profile is not getting obeyed properly. Can you attach the .ai file, and we'll look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandOutfitters Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Attached the original AI file. Just purchased Affinity release. I'm not able to select any of the Illustrator document components (handles, objects, etc.). Just to test, I created a 6/100/100/30 red square in Affinity, thenexported it as an .eps file. When opened in Illustrator 5.5. Here's what happens to the color: 22.82/100/100/17.26 (in case screen shot doesn't come through) ManUp-Logo-4CP-01.ai.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff TonyB Posted October 5, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm a bit confused. I can open the .ai file and could select and edit the objects with the move tool and the points with the node tool. I will have a look at the colours later.

BrandOutfitters Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks; I'm as confused as you are. I opened that file today and was also able to select/edit objects, i.e. everything behaved as it should. The only difference I found was I had left open a software installer (after installing/using Miro Video Converter for another project), which I closed before opening the .ai file. Not going to dwell on it; if I'm able to reproduce the issue, I'll let you know. Colour issue is where we'll stay focused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
