stuck Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) I use Adobe RGB as my working colour space, it works well in conjunction with my Adobe RGB capable monitor. If I want to share an image then I use Document | Convert... and pick sRGB IEC61966-2.1. I don't often see much of a change in the image. So far so simple. Today though converting the profile of a panorama in this way makes the image much more contrasty. However, if I simulate the conversion from Adobe RGB to sRGB by adding a soft proof adjustment layer with a proof profile of sRGB IEC61966-2.1 then the image does not become more contrasty. Am I wrong to expect a soft proof layer set to sRGB to have the same effect on screen as using Document | Convert... to sRGB? Any wisdom much appreciated. EDITED TO ADD: It doesn't matter what rendering intent I set for the conversion and the soft proof layer.

lacerto Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 This is a long and well known bug in Affinity apps, related to standard 2.1 version of sRGB profile (and something that I have not experienced with other apps): softproof_bug.mp4 You can work around this by using an updated sRGB profile, which are available e.g. here: https://www.color.org/srgbprofiles.xalter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hmm, yes, using the sRGB v2 profile (sRGB2014.icc) does seem to help. Thank you! lacerto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
