Katarzyna Kantarowska Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Is it normal that the CMYK color profile document looks different from Adobe Illustrator. CMYK in Affinity Designer looks like RGB. Could you please help me? Export to pdf shows the colors properly. However, it is hard to work with such RBG fluorescent colors. Quote
walt.farrell Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Your question seems to be about Designer, but you posted in the forum for Publisher Beta on Windows. First, please confirm which application (Designer, Publisher) you're asking about, and which version (retail, beta) you're using. Next, it would help if you provided a screenshot of what you're seeing. You can just have Windows take the screenshot, and you can paste it into a post here or attach the file here.

Katarzyna Kantarowska Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 Hi Walt, Thanks for your reply:) I was asking about Affinity designer version 1.9.1.979. I am sending you the screenshots. Sorry for the mess of misplacing the problem. Thank you for your help. Kate Quote
walt.farrell Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Thanks for the added info and screenshots. I'm not sure what's going on there. Can you include the Layers panel in a screenshot, too, please? And maybe one with part of the image selected and the Color panel showing?

Katarzyna Kantarowska Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 I am sending you a new screenshot. Quote
Katarzyna Kantarowska Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 after exporting to pdf - as it should look in Affinity Designer. Quote
Katarzyna Kantarowska Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 Here is my document setup in CMYK profile. Quote
walt.farrell Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Here is what that color looks like on mine: It does look like a possible issue with the color profile you have assigned to your monitor.

Katarzyna Kantarowska Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 Alert in English: System window cannot find "colorpnl.exe". Please make sure that the name entered is correct and try again. I think that the problem is not related with monitor color profile. Please look at screenshot attached where you can see pdf file and affinity on the same screen. Quote
Katarzyna Kantarowska Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 I hope language will not be a problem:) Quote
Katarzyna Kantarowska Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 BofG thank you for your help. I changed the profile in the advanced settings. Everything is working fine now. Thank you guys for your help. Have a nice evening. walt.farrell 1 Quote
