How Do I Create An UnTagged Document

[IanBarber]

I want to make an untagged document, one which does not have a profile attached to it but cannot see how to do it.

I can easily make it in Photoshop but then when I open it it Affinity photo it always assigns a profile. on the fly

Is this what you're looking for:

Preferences > Colour

uncheck 'Convert opened files to working space'

It must have some profile while you're working on it.

Are you perhaps looking for the Export option (probably available if you click More in the Export dialog) that says not to embed metadata?

If this is the case, what is the option for in the preferences where it says "Convert opened files to working space"

That allows you to have a defined working space (e.g., sRGB), and then to either:

1. Automatically convert color images that you open from their profile (e.g, Adobe RGB) to your working sRGB; or
2. To leave them alone, so that you work on them in Adobe RGB or whatever other profile they have.

But you must have a defined working space. And documents must have a defined profile.

You can save an image file without including the metadata (and also without including the ICC profile; two options in Export). In that case, any application that opens the file will make an assumption. For example, web browsers generally assume sRGB for RGB documents with no identified profile (no metadata), and that will make AdobeRGB documents look wrong when viewed if it doesn't have the metadata.

Thanks for the explanation. if I tick the box "convert and warn" I am not been warned at all, is this normal behaviour

[walt.farrell]

I think I've seen bug reports about the lack of a warning, but it would take some forum searching to confirm that. Possibly a staff member or a forum user who has experienced it will comment further.
