TerriS Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I am stuck on this project. I am not sure if there is a bug or user error? When I go to export the file as PDF/X-1a:2003 it loses a texture layer and some of my recoloring. It looks like the 2nd image. I don't get any warnings or error messages. It exports like everything is fine but when you open the file the color is all wrong. I am an artist, not a tech person so I appreciate the help.

A few initial questions... Could you confirm the 'Colour Format' and 'Colour Profile' you are using, shown in the Document Setup dialog window Could you confirm the file format for the texture layer and the 'Colour Space' used, which is hopefully shown in Resource Manager Are you selecting a specific CMYK 'Colour Profile' in the Export dialog when exporting your file to PDF, and if so which one Callum 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
