Publisher doesn't show prober red anymore

[chapolote]

Hi,

affinity publisher shows very strange red colors in color palette, see attached pictures.

The first shows how red is displayed in color palette, the last, how a filled path with red is displayed and the second, how it looks in the exported pdf.

I checked document settings, it doesn't make any difference if I chosse RGB/8, RGB/16 or RGB/32. As profile I tried Adobe RGB as well as sRGB, the red color stays ugly brown.

The same happens, if there is red color in any embedded picture, Publisher shows it in brown. Other colors like blue or green seem to be ok.

Any idea whats goung wrong here?

HI @chapolote,

Since it's the app's display that's funny, try to check the profile of your monitor at OS level. Did you try to calibrate the screen or installed some software that would modify it?

Bonjour, @chapolote @Wosven

j'ai eu le même problème.
Je l'ai résolu en changeant les profils. Et surtout en étant cohérent entre l'espace colorimétrique et le profil CMJN-eci, RVB-eci RVB.
Sur la capture à gauche le rvb, à droite le cmjn.
Bon week-end à tous.

Hello,
I had the same problem.
I solved it by changing the profiles. And especially by being consistent between the colorimetric space and the CMYK-eci, RGB-eci RGB profile.
On the capture on the left the rvb, on the right the cmjn.
Have a nice weekend.

The choice of profile also depends on the practice at your location.

Due to the fact, that all other programms show proper color it doesn't make sense, to change anything in color profiles on OS level.

However: a simple reinstall of Publisher did it.

Thanks nevertheless for your assistance 🙂

Who know what people do to mess their apps...

Who knows what Affinity does that such problems appear

Strange, other apps don't.

No harm meant.... 😜

Many other programs are not color managed at all.

Some that are color managed do not do their color management in the same way that Affinity does.

It would make sense to me to follow the advice and change the OS color profile info, and see if that makes it work for Affinity and still work for the other programs. If so, the advice was correct. If not, you can restore the OS settings to what they were before.
