@Gokhan Eser, you are copy/pasting between two different colour models so the colours are going to appear differently when displayed in a CMYK colour space vs an RGB colour space.

What is your logic for working in CMYK and then copy/pasting to an RGB artboard?

For the Mockup, I designed it in CMYK format, then I need to send it to the RGB project. I didn't have this problem in V1. But I encountered into this in V2.

I have run into the same issue. Using the CMYK color sliders seems to force the CMYK values to stick. When I forget to do that the color difference can be quite annoying.

This is a definite bug, V2 is displaying the incorrect colour when a rasterised image is copied from a CMYK document and pasted to an RGB document. Pasting the same rasterised file into an Apple Pages document maintains the correct and exact same colour values, as does V1 (as you mentioned in your original post).

@Carolien, I may be wrong but I think your issue may be different, based on your description at least... When applying colours in your CMYK document are you applying them as RGB, HSL or CMYK and are you also rasterising the image and copy/pasting between CMYK and RGB documents?

As mentioned above, there is definitely a bug here where V2 is incorrectly displaying the colours of images rasterised in Affinity Designer 2.0.4 when copied from a CMYK document to an RGB Document...

Yes, I can't move any property to another RGB Artboard.

Is there a specific reason you need to rasterise the image? If you leave it as an Image, rather than rasterising it when you copy and paste it to an RGB Artboard, while there will be a colour shift, it won't be anywhere as big as the colour shift you're seeing owing to this bug...

@walt.farrell What do you think about it? I think you have experience with this. Can we move this issue to the bug section? This is an important problem for me. 

Sorry, but I cannot understand what is happening based on your video. But if you are copying CMYK pixels and pasting them into an RGB document, as far as I know the colors should change.

Why is that incorrect. Pixels copied from a CMYK document to an RGB document should change color, in many cases, when the required color conversion happens.

They should and they will but there is something very odd going on here which may be Mac specific, the colour shift is way off when copying and pasting between the two different colour models. If you make a comparison using the same image and/or colours with a V1 document this isn't happening...

I'll make a screen recording and upload it shortly to demonstrate the issue further, it would then be helpful, if you have time, to test it on Windows so we can see if it is Mac specific or a V2 issue...

There was no such problem in V1. I've been using Affinity for almost years. This also applies to other Ai or other programs.

So, steps to reproduce... In V1...

  1. Create two documents, one CMYK, the second RGB
  2. In the CMYK document add some swatches, e.g., CMYK and RGB
  3. Group the swatches and duplicate the group
  4. Rasterise the swatches in the duplicated group
  5. Copy the rasterised swatches from the CMYK document to the RGB document
  6. Result, no noticeable colour shift

Repeat the exercise in V2 using the same colour profiles for both documents and the result when copying the rasterised colour swatches from the CMYK document to the RGB document is a very noticable colour shift.

Paste the same rasterised swatches created in the V2 CMYK document into any other application using the same RGB colour profile as the Affinity Designer document, e.g., Apple Pages, Pixelmator (or whatever you have available) and the results mirror that of Designer V1, i.e., no noticeable colour shift in the pasted document.

The current V2 does a non-colour managed conversion from CMYK to RGB when a CMYK Pixel object is pasted in an RGB document. It's using the same simplistic formulas as the common online colour converters which do not consider colour profiles.

V1 does a colour managed conversion which maintains colour appearance by taking into account the source and destination colour profiles.

Therefore still a bug as it clearly shouldn't... Also, curious to know if this affects Windows and iPad...

Of course a bug!

Did I say or imply otherwise? [rhetorical question, in case that could be misinterpreted too]

I was only giving a little insight into what is happening, not a justification for the change.

@stokerg, many thanks for confirming and logging... hopefully there will be a fix in an upcoming release... :)
