Daiaxis Posted May 28, 2024 Posted May 28, 2024 This image is what the colours look like in Affinity Designer itself This is what an exported PNG file looks like This is what and exported JPG looks like Any help on why this might be?? Quote
walt.farrell Posted May 28, 2024 Posted May 28, 2024 What is the color format of your file? RGB, or CMYK? If it's CMYK, perhaps the problem occurs because PNG files only support RGB.

Daiaxis Posted May 28, 2024 Author Posted May 28, 2024 Thanks for getting back so quickly the Colour format is RGB in affinity Quote
walt.farrell Posted May 28, 2024 Posted May 28, 2024 In that case I have no idea. Can you share the Affinity document and the PNG, and show us the Export options you used?

Daiaxis Posted May 28, 2024 Author Posted May 28, 2024 This is the full PNG image note that there is also an issue with the other logo on the right hand side bottom (The Joshua Tree - should not be a grey background) Quote
Old Bruce Posted May 28, 2024 Posted May 28, 2024 Try using 16 bit instead of 32 bit for the PNG file. I honestly don't know what advantage a 32 bit PNG will have. I also don't know why this colour shift is happening. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Daiaxis Posted May 28, 2024 Author Posted May 28, 2024 Thanks so much - that appeared to have worked!!!! Not sure why that should make a difference, though ?? Quote
walt.farrell Posted May 28, 2024 Posted May 28, 2024 Except for very specialized cases, and when you really know what you're doing with them, it's best to avoid RGB-32 entirely because it works quite differently from what is needed for most other cases. RGB-16 or RGB-8 are better for most ordinary purposes.
