Phil bookmaker Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 I am making a book (70+pages) in affinity publisher 2. It has coloured photos, sepia photos, text. A small sample of the file is attached. When I print using my Canon Ts6350a printer everything is fine, except the sepia images print greyscale, no matter what I do. This includes images adjusted to sepia using Publisher adjustment tool, and those created seperately using NIK plugin. Cloured images print fine. The sepia images show greyscale on the canon print preview, before printing. Colured images show the full range of colours. I have copied the images and adjustment from Affinity photo to Affinity photo 2 and to microsoft publisher 365. and these print OK. I have previously made and printed a different photobook in Affinity publisher 1 with sepia and coloured images and that printed fine. Yesterday I tried to send you this, but when I uploaded the file it said 'sorry something went wrong, you file(250mb) was not uploaded. This happened twice. So if this happens again I will send this without uploads. Look forward to your advice, I am otherwise pleased with Affinity, and learnt to use publisher on a 6 week zoom Royal Photographic Society Course in Jan/ Feb this year. Philip Taylor.

firstdefence Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Use a recolour adjustment instead of the colour balance adjustment. Try these settings for the sepia... Using Print and saving to PDF shows the recolour adjustment works and the document will print the image to a sepia tone. I don't have a printer with me at the moment so I printed to PDF and it shows the same results as if I had printed.

Phil bookmaker Posted November 29, 2022 Author Posted November 29, 2022 Thank you for your work around. I also found a work around by making each greyscale image sepia, then saving it as a jpg in a seperate file. Then replacing my grayscale imags withe these new sepia jpgs. A lot of work! This also means that the failure of colour balance adjustment to work in print or PDF is a bug in the new programme. Quote
