907artscape Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 Hey folks! I recently made the switch from Adobe to Affinity, and have been thrilled with the programs thus far. After the last update however, I’m noticing that my colors aren’t “true” when I go from the pallet to my project. I’ve not messed with any of the settings, and they appear to be the same as the last project I was working on before the update. The opacity is set to 100 but when I go to apply the color, the hue, saturation and opacity all seem off. In addition, I created a custom swatch pallet and all of those colors are subdued and greyed out compared to the image I extracted them from. I’m wondering if this is user error on my part, or a glitch from the update? If it’s user error on my part (which it probably is), does anyone know how to fix this? If it helps any I'm working with an RGB color format and an sRGB color profile. I attached an image in hopes my issue makes more sense if my explanation didn't. Quote

Thank you so much. I feel like a dumb not catching that, but apparently I was over complicating the issue in my head. Thank you again!! Quote
