Imported images has wrong colors (brighter/washed out) when e.g. Display P3 color profile is used

[Domske]

I can't open screenshots properly in Affinity Photo. Because they appear brighter (washed out) than they should when opened. It seems that this because of the color profile "Display P3" set in display settings on macOS. I tested P3 (uiCCPkCGColorSpaceDisplayP3) and sRGB. I need this profile. This is a bug. All other programs have no problem this that. You can reproduce this:

1. Set color profile of macOS to "Display P3".
2. Take a screenshot (e.g. CMD+Shift+4).
3. Open in Affinity Photo. See wrong lighten colors.
4. Set color profile of macOS to "Display" or other.
5. Take another screenshot.
6. Open in Photo. See it seems ok.

It's SDR, not HDR. The Catalina island at night looks like at day when opened in Affinity Photo. That's not correct.

Is there already a solution or does this need to be fixed by the developer?

Hi @Domske,

This is a known issue with the Display P3 profile currently logged with the developers, it's incorrectly interpreted as an RGB/32 bit profile resulting in the washed out colours, I've bumped the issue with your report.
