The colours on my design is all messed up in V2, and I don’t know how to fix it.

The first mocup is from V2, and the colours doesn’t match how they are suppose to be. The second mocup are from when I used V1. Everything is correct, and the colours also matched when the book was printed. No I am afraid to use V2 for my book designs in case the colours wan’t match when printed. Help, anyone??

Hard to tell what's different without inspecting your Affinity document itself.
Or your color management setting in either version, for example.
Could be ICC profile mismatch.

How can I know if the ICC is different from V1? I havent changed anything.

You can check by tapping Doocument menu/Convert Document. The context toolbar will show current settings.

Another possibility:
Some of the blend modes have slightly changed in v2 when used with Fill Opacity.
See affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/pages/Layers/layerBlendModes.html > scroll down to "'Special 8' blend modes and fill opacity"

That's why we would need to inspect the document – or a similar example that shows the same effect – in order to understand what's going on. There are too many variables. (Frankly, I've never used v1 on iPad so I don't know if there were some other changes under the hood compared to the Affinity desktop versions 1 vs 2.)

Thank you so much. It seemed this was the case. V2 had for some reason opened my project in RGB instead of CMYK so it therefor messed it up.
