ubercool Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The color balance of a file I place on my book cover never changes. I have changed it in Photoshop and Pixelmator numerous times to be cooler, yet Affinity Publisher never reflects the changes. Can anyone tell me why? I have attached a screenshot of the Affinity Publisher cover (top) and the original image (bottom). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If embedded and you replace it not manually, you will never see a change. Quote ---------- Windows 10 / 11, Complete Suite Retail and Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now see the image actually changed, but the variance remains as dramatic as the attached screenshot shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petar Petrenko Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 What is your working profile and do you have "Preferences > Color > Convert to working profile" checked?

It shows what I mentioned earlier: CMYK/8, U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. Anyway, this particular image is the only one giving me issues, so it may well have something to do with the file’s unique color balance that is tripping up AP. I have elected to color-adjust it and will search for another image that is less troublesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
