HarryA Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I imported an illustrator file but everything that is orange in the file is not showing up. If I select all I can see that the elements are there just not visable. I open the same file in acrobat and all the elements are present and I can see the orange.

Paul Bravery Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hi HarryA, The orange coloured objects in the .ai file may be a Pantone spot orange, using LAB colour space instead of CMYK or RGB. I believe that better handling of LAB based spot colours is planned for a later version of AD & AP. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bravery Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hi HarryA, Basically, the orange objects will appear white, so you can select the layers that have those white objects that you know are orange & change them back to an orange colour. Alternatively, if you also have Illustrator, you can convert the LAB spot colour orange objects to CMYK orange & re-save the Illustrator file before importing it in to Affinity. Paul.
