Adding noise changes fill color?

[WalterBeiter]

Hey. I have a shape in a document with a specific fill color (bright blue) with noise. In another document, I have a different document i have a shape that I would like to give the same fill color and also add noise. I filled the shape with the exact same color. Everything looks identical. However, as soon as I add noise, the color shifts towards green. Even if I drag the noise slider to zero again, the color shift stays. 

 

Any ideas? 

 

 

I am using Affinity Designer 1.4.1

Hi WalterBeiter. If your 'noise' speckling were the same colour as your bright blue initial colour, you would see no 'noise' at all, just the same bright blue. In your second thumbnail the 'noise' is additional lighter and darker grey pixels which, unless viewed very close up, make the fill look shifted towards green. Try using Digital Colour Meter (Applications > Utilities > DCM) with a single pixel point Aperture to see this happening.

Well, I copied the right one from the other document. It is a bug, you can clearly see the normal blue, the blue from the other document with noise and the buggy noise one which is shifted towards green.

Hi WalterBeiter,

Can you replicate this consistently?

Any chance you can provide us the document to reproduce the issue?

All files will be deleted after being checked.

Thanks.

[WalterBeiter]

sure, where can I send the file?

[MEB]

You can PM me a Dropbox link if you don't want to post it publicly, or alternatively use this link to upload the file directly to my Dropbox account.

Thanks, I uploaded it. It has the name "Test" and is around 48 Mbyte in size.

sorry, overread that nickname part. hope you find the file.

No worries, I already have the file. Thank you.

Although i'm not able to replicate the colour shifting yet, something is wrong here, since both shapes share the same colour values (wheel view) but they look quite different.

Changing to other mode (RGB/LAB) the values differ as expected. I'm passing this to the develop team to be looked at.

Thanks for your report and help.

Not really, that link is talking about (natural) noise in sound.  The white/pink/brown is descriptive rather a reference to actual colour/chroma.

What link do you mean? I don't see any links in this topic besides the ones in MEB's sig. Is this a glitch in the upgraded forum software or something?

Hi R C-R,

No, there's no glitch. The post Ben was replying to was marked as spam by me (at roughly the same time) and so it was hidden. It was pointing to site related with noise in sound.

MEB, thanks for the explanation. For now, a lot of things seem glitchy after the forum software update & I just wanted to make sure this was not one of them.

Yeah - it was spam.  I redacted the link when I made my post, but Miguel was right to remove the post.
