Difficulty with PNG Images and Colors

[DanM.]

Hi, I'm back again. I have 2 PNG Images that I'm using on the front and back cover (spread) for a hardcover book. The 2 images appeared to be the same color until I Export a PDF, then the front cover image is still in the color family, but a completely different color. I'm working Affinity Designer and trying to achieve CMYK: 33, 99, 98, 52 on both images. I've tried everything I know and can't get the colors to match up. Any help is much appreciated.

The 2 images are attached:

Front Cover: PNG Cross

Back Cover: PNG 3 Crosses

The PNG format is RGB-only, and does not support CMYK.

Hey, @DanM. - your 3 Crosses look a lot like the city logo for Las Cruces, NM. Any connection?

Hey smadell,

Not that I know of, with my alterations it comes up as royalty free and approved by publisher, that's cool that it reminds you of that though. Got my colors straightened out finally.

Hi Walt, I was still able to PDF and get the colors and look I needed. Could I change these from RGB to CMYK, or change into a SVG somehow?

I appreciate you replying to my post, thank you.

Sorry, Dan, but I don't understand that question. If you need CMYK, then you shouldn't use PNG. PDF, JPG, or TIFF would work.
