Lojza Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Hi, I quite don't understand, what is and how works ICC Profile in Affinity Photo. I have adjusted a JPEG photo with several adjustment layers (Colour Balance Adjustment, Curves Adjustment and Selective Colour Adjustment). When exporting with Export persona into PNG (which I need for mobile app launch screen), the "Embed ICC Profile" checkbox needs to be selected, otherwise the colors of the exported image look different. When exporting with simple export dialog, there is no "Embed ICC Profile" option available, so the exported image looks always different. I would like to ask for explanation of folowing - how ICC Profile works - how is it related to adjusment layers - how is it possible (if ever) to export PNG image "without ICC Profile", but with the same look as in Affinity Photo (that's because I'm used to change image dimensions at export, which is currently not allowed in Export persona). Here is the adjusted image as displayed in Affinity Photo: Here is the exported result (without ICC Profile): Quote UX/UI designer, IT analyst & consultant, Business Architect at Cool Ticket (www.coolticket.co).

Looking forward to the Export persona having the possibility to resize exported slice ;) Also thanks MBd for pointing me to Wikipedia (duh!). I have a lot to learn ;) Quote UX/UI designer, IT analyst & consultant, Business Architect at Cool Ticket (www.coolticket.co).

After exporting a PNG without ICC profile embedded, the exported result is "close enough" to what I see in Affinity Photo. So that works for me for now! anon1 1 Quote UX/UI designer, IT analyst & consultant, Business Architect at Cool Ticket (www.coolticket.co).
