MichaelDaens Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 I had designed some elements in Designer the other day and decided I wanted to move things over to Publisher for print layout purposes. I simply copy and pasted the layers from Designer which included a 70% transparent color layer over a bitmap image. Stangely the colors in Publisher appear much more faded vs the vibrant, bright color in Designer. Any idea what might cause this? I've attaced a screenshot of the side by side images with Publisher on the left, Designer on the right. Quote
MichaelDaens Posted April 25, 2023 Author Posted April 25, 2023 Interestingly when I import an exported image from Designer to Publisher the color is much more vibrant (see image, imported one is on the right, copy and pasted on the left) but then I can't edit it like I need to so this is not the greatest solution.

MichaelDaens Posted April 25, 2023 Author Posted April 25, 2023 Update, apparently this is not a cross platform issue. I just ccopied and pasted the same thing into a new Designer document and the color is changing there too. I'm really at a loss as to why this is happening... Any help still appreciated. Quote

I just checked and yes the color profile is the same. Changing it doesn't appear to change the image on screen anyhow. Quote
Staff NathanC Posted April 26, 2023 Staff Posted April 26, 2023 Hi @MichaelDaens, Could you provide us with a sample .afdesign and .afpub file where you're encountering this colour shift difference so we can investigate further? If it's not something you wish to share publicly I can provide a private upload link. Many thanks 🙂 Quote
