meatwaddancin Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Question: When I download the Google Play badge as an EPS from Google (https://play.google.com/intl/en_us/badges/) and open it in Affinity, the colors are waaay off. Affinity pops up a message about the color profile being assigned, but I can't figure out how to switch the profile to just look normal. Any help in what I'm doing wrong here? I'm attaching a photo of the message, as well as a comparison from what it should look like to what I'm getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 If you need the EPS file for printed materials, I would suggest downloading the “Print” version of the badge. Opening this version in Affinity Designer will give you much more accurate colors … :) Hope that helps … :) Alex meatwaddancin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatwaddancin Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks so much Alex, that actually get the logo to render with the correct colors! However, and even tho my issue is 'solved' I am not working with Print, I am using on a website, so I have no idea why the web version is so broken in Affinity. Oh well, at least I have what I need, thanks much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I think what Alex might have meant is that the "digital" EPS file supplied by Google was defective in some way, not that Affinity broke it. But regardless, for me downloading either EPS version results in a file I can't open with Affinity, Preview, or any other app I own. Preview tells me neither one has any embedded postscript content, which is probably why I can't open it. Anyway, I don't know why Google offers EPS instead of PDF -- EPS is an older "dumber" format, as mentioned here.
