Update converted my files to cymk

[Patrick Noone]

The last update caused a massive pain in the rear, all my designs for my target shooting saved as jpg's 8 bit were converted to CYMK so I had to convert them back to 8 bit rgb, so I could print them from the photo viewer, or you just get the black screen in the viewer.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

It sounds like you're saying that the files you had previously saved as JPG were somehow converted to CMYK, but I don't think that could happen unless you saved them again, and unless you specified a different color format.

Since that's probably not what you meant, please provide a more complete description of exactly what you did, and what you experienced, with  step-by-step details so we could try to repeat it.

Didn't do anything to the files I had already created before the update, then after update I tried to open the file as usual in photo viewer, which they had loaded many times before the update, and got the black screen, when I opened them in Affinity I noticed they had changed to cymk, converted them back to rgb and no probs.

Which file? And what type of file? A new one this just created after the update, or one from before the update?

[Patrick Noone]

One's before the update that had opened many times before, as I print my own training targets off, save them as jpg's then open them in photo viewer and print from there, never had any issues before the update then it converted them to cymk.

Not all my jpeg's were converted though, just it seems the ones I had created with the doughnut tool and rectangle tool were the main ones that got converted, my photos were untouched.

I have converted the troublesome ones back to jpg rgb 8 bit and so far no issues printing as I did before from photo viewer.

Excuse me, but how can that be done? You wrote that you only opened the files again after you had updated Designer. It can't be possible that Designer converts any files as if by magic. The Affinity programs are quite intelligently programmed, but none of them has an AI, so far I know.
You probably selected the CMYK format by mistake when saving.

Yes it's probably something I done unknowingly, just strange it all worked fine before the update then after the cymk issue.

But no worries I converted all my  files back and seems to be fine now.

Thanks for your input.
