PDF Export - colour profile options

[adrianlambert]

I'm creating a new pdf export preset and want to ensure all outputs are cmyk with a specific colour profile. If the document isn't already in that specific colour profile will the document be converted or will the new profile simply be assigned. There's an option for that in the document settings but it's not clear in the export settings. (I suggest it should be made clear what's going on)

Hi Adrianlambert,

 

Taken from the Help file of Affinity:

'For applying a different colour profile, Assign adopts the new profile but leaves the values of the colours/pixels as is. Convert converts each colour from the old profile to the new one—colour/pixel values may change as a result.'

 

Hope that help explains the options on the Document Setup Window

Thanks Stokerg but I think you misread my post. I want to know what's going on in the export setup, the document setup is self explanatory.

Export will convert the colours to the destination profile.
