When looking for photos profile in resource manager very important data is colour profile - rgb or cmyk, that row is missing, also button for missing files.

The colour profile for the image is shown below the large thumbnail at the right-hand side of the Resource Manager... For missing files, you can sort the status column by selecting it so it shows all Missing files together...

but that mean, that if you have 100 of photos, you need to check evryone to see if is rgb or cmyk - not user friendly and time consuming. When , so one more row coluld spare a lot of time, dont you think? I have just now this problem, because I have more than hundred of photos and must look and open every one, not practical at all. And is very important

I agree, that would be a nice addition but again, this is not a bug but a feature request so should be posted in the appropriate forum, i.e., the Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products forum...

I once wrote about this here, but I don't know where this topic is now and whether anyone has responded to it. Perhaps it is gathering dust in the archive.

Affinity also enables you to check a deviating colour space & profile of linked resources via the Preflight Panel … and displays the result as list of all relevant items.

However, may I ask for what purpose you "must look" this data for every resource? And why you would have to "open every one" ? – Isn't it sufficient to choose the option "Convert Image Colours Spaces" in the PDF Export settings?

Bildschirmfoto2025-01-31um12_45_01.jpg.67a9fa1f3fb8c911b219eb7e0357b896.jpg

Now I wonder if the bug "afb-6109" has been fixed in V2. – Otherwise your requested additional column for colour space and/or profile might not be as useful as expected and may mislead with wrong and weird results (for instance by reporting CMYK as colour space of a PNG).

Finally, of course you can check colour space & profile of linked resources outside of Affinity, with any app that displays the file's metadata.

Yes I can check in other way, but resource manager is basic, so I can find photo Finder, I can replace foto in there but why I can't see colour profile in source app manager, because it is better there than in Finder. Ii it realy so hard to include one more column in there and button for missing links, whay are you need users to sent his opinion? Simple example I have 100 photos three of them are rgb and the rest cmyk, i like this three to replace profile but I don't know which one, so I must go to Finder or look veery single link in manager. Yes I can find in Finder but why not in resource manager is there any reason why not the short and best way?

Lets talk abouth PNG and jpeg CMYK conversion, you have 100 cmyk photos and three RGB profile, and you must al set to CMYK, now you need to know which one is in rgb and which one is cmyk.  So, user friendly is to have another coloumn with colour space - simple.

And why I need to have when I am doing right color space, because in screen you have different colors when photo is in RGB or CMYK and if you have professional monitor there is difference, if you are amateur then is OK.

You'll know it if you use the Preflight panel (once again, as said above by @thomaso).

Why should be simpšle if can be super complicated, just one row in resource manager solve all this mes and you are trying to show that all complicated nonsence is better.

Yes. If your goal is a PDF with images in a certain CMYK profile, …

  • the simplest way is to export the PDF with the desired profile and either enable "Convert image color spaces" (to avoid RGB images in the PDF), or enable "Embed profiles" to ensure that profiles of RGB images are known / available in the PDF for conversion right before output (e.g. printing).
  • there is no need to convert images separately into CMYK before placing them in Affinity and every extra conversion of single images makes the process more complex than required.

@Iztok

To quickly convert all images to the color space of your document, rasterize the image first, then convert it to a picture resource. In the resource manager, you'll see that all images are embedded, but with the document's color profile. Click the make linked button and specify a folder. All images will be saved to this folder in tiff format.

Simpliest way is in in Aff Photo -action -New Batrch job, put 50 photos in, then make simple included action to  change colour profile to CMYK and jpeg in new folder, takes two minutes for that, than logical be, that replace in image folder inside packageall png with jpeg with same name and if  extension jpeg and PNG doesn't make rule, but only name of photo, and manager works as shuld, than you can replace colour profile for 50 images in 3 minutes, thas is quick and simple, everything else is the stone age.

I've asked for this as well and I think it's a few minutes of work.
But given the pace at which new features are being introduced, it could take up to ten years. So be patient.

The package creation system clearly has a flaw in that the files transferred to a new package are not relinked, but rather links are retained or some files from previous links are pulled into this package, so the resource manager shows what is in this package, but then we have a problem when changing the relink, because in the next package, it breaks again. This is a major flaw that significantly affects the work, so I would expect the programmers to fix this alarmingly, because it is almost impossible to complete the project, hours and hours of time lost due to sloppiness and lack of verification.

Try to change profile in Photo persona - just loop, for three minutes, file of 2 kb, and RGB remain rgb. it is Toff file

Isn't it rather "stone age" to convert images on disk to CMYK... instead of leaving the conversion to the PDF export with that profile that will be required (by a specific CMYK print process or for RGB screen view for instance)? – What advantage do you see in a separate conversion of your image files?

No, of course not. ... But it is simply not available yet, and just that is the reason to discuss alternative options.

And, once Serif will implement a request, they also may want to improve more than just one aspect in the Resource Manager but also, for instance, a column for other meta data (e.g. creation date, modification date, keywords, source hard-/software, original size, placed size, et al.) + clean up the preview/detail area which currently wastes screen space by its layout but crops longer entries (e.g. long profile names).

I don't  know which of the requested V1 improvements have been realized in V2 but apparently there are still some missing.

That Convert dialog is designed to convert the Affinity document itself. It is not for converting placed image objects, and therefore it is correctly not producing the result which you are hoping to get.

Not if you can change 50 photos in minute, stone agee is converting each photo in photo persona, that is slow, very slow and doesn't work well, I want to change tiff to cmyk and 2 kb and the  was rgb again. I work now with 500 photos in one document, I belive everyone who work in magazine or catalog with lot of photos need  quick solution not slow. I change 50 profiles from .png to jpeg and cmyk in AffPhoto in 3 minutes automatic work, don't say this is stone age.
