smg Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hi to all I have to work on (open and save) a tiff 1bit(bitmap) and on grey scale image. As I open in Photo are transformed in COLOR image. How this may possible? Is Affinity Photo do not support 1bit and 8bit image? Thank you ATIF_SteppedScale.K_AM_300dpi_5lpi_EllipticalP_linear.TIF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The Affinity applications do not support 1-bit (bitmapped) TIFF files.

John Rostron Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Your source greyscale tiff image probably does not have a colour profile embedded. By default Affinity Photo assigns a colour profile to such unprofiled images. You can assign a Greyscale profile to the image, but this will be a 8-bit or 16-bit greyscale. This profile should be remembered when you save and re-open. As @walt.farrellsays above Photo does not offer a 1-bit profile.

nicolasbulb Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Okay, again I'm raising up the request to support 1-bit bitmap into Affinity Photo channels in order to create artworks for screenprint like we can do it in Photoshop 2.0. I'm supporting Affinity since day one when I've bought the very first beta of Affinity Designer and I was eager to see the full potential. But seriously after almost 7 years, I've used it professionally only once. I still support it and advise it as an alternative to the entire Adobe mess but I need 1-bitmap support and a better way to assign spot colour to channel.

I fully agree, is a must to have for professional operator in the graphic art production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please consider doing that in the feature request forums, not here in the Questions forum. (Note the "search first" suggestion there.)
