KipV Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I can’t figure out why since I think they were all scanned in the same. I will select a color but it just comes out in a shade of grey. I tried setting the color mode to sRGB or Adobe (1998) but in the top left corner of the window it continues to say “Generic Gray Gamma 2.2 Profile.” A grayscale image doesn't have to be scanned as color to later change it to color does? I don't need to rescan the photo right or do I? Quote New Internet Book Project | Another New Website Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardMH Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 How are you changing the colour mode? Document->Convert Format/ICC Profile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didn't do it that way. I was trying to change it under Affinity Photo > Preferences which doesn't seem to do anything. I am in the dialog you mentioned now, is this where I select one of the RGBs under "color format?" This image will be going on the web so it seems like that is what I should pick?

You want RGB/16. KipV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remembered from Photoshop you would convert it from the mode menu and there wasn't a separate dialog box so I'll just have to get used to the new way.
