dbodonyi Posted May 29, 2022 Posted May 29, 2022 Hi, I couldn't find any solution to very serious issue I have constantly. Every time I need to make something based on example colors doesn't show true. I mostly use Affinity Publisher but have experienced same problem in Designer and Photo. In this example I had PNG image (sample) and have opened same image in Publisher (RGB/8 color format) I have tried every RGB profile available and it remains obviously different. What am I missing here? Even cheapest image preview software shows PNG sample file accurately in comparison. I didn't see much people complaining about it so I must be missing something obvious here. I use latest version of entire Affinity pack on Windows 10. Thanks in advance for any solution you can suggest me to solve this! Quote

dbodonyi Posted May 29, 2022 Author Posted May 29, 2022 Mind that I didn't have trouble in Adobe, MS Office or in any open source software (Krita, Inkscape etc.) Same OS, same setup. Only Affinity does this. Should I really mess with ICC profile in OS? Quote
RichardMH Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 Download a colour checker and see what you get using Info when you load it into A Photo? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/Color_Checker.pdf Quote

dbodonyi Posted May 30, 2022 Author Posted May 30, 2022 ...and If I use color picker these fields are not the same. Similar to Anto's post problem is mostly in the last row. Quote
RichardMH Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 I get it right if I'm in Adobe RGB (1998) in Preferences. Quote
Staff DWright Posted May 30, 2022 Staff Posted May 30, 2022 When I open your image in Designer and Publisher with the sRGB colour profile I am getting the same colour values in both of the programs, is it possible for you to post a copy of your .afpub file Quote
dbodonyi Posted May 30, 2022 Author Posted May 30, 2022 Sure, here is the afpub file. Interestingly, even in explorer it looks accurate as thumbnail and once opened it just changes from blue to some kind of purple... semple.afpub Quote
Komatös Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 The publisher sets the color profile for me to the standard sRGB (IEC61966-2.1) profile. And to me, red looks like red.

Well, I'll be damned. I didn't knew this. I just removed default associated ICC display profile and it works like the charm, colors looks accurate in Affinity. Thanks very much for suggestion! And thanks everyone for fast response and will to help. This will make my life much more easier. Komatös and Pšenda 2 Quote
