Benson Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Hello, First of all, I'm not a professional User of AD, so maybe this problem could be "my fault", because of wrong settings or something like that. When I open a new project, my white (and grey) tones are not a real white. It looks like it got some red tint on it. I created e.g. a rectangle and it was tinted too. I set it to white on the color-wheel but it already was. So I used the color-picker to pick a grey-tone from the UI (r128 g128 b128, from the sliders) and I got a brown tone. At first I thought my screen settings were wrong, but all other programs are ok. I attached some screenshots were you can clearly see it. 1. You can see the color-picker picking grey but it is shown as brown. 2. Comparison between the white in AD and the white in Editor. This happened on the last three beta versions. Maybe it's useful: Win7 x64 AMD Cpu MSI Radeon R7 Thanks in advance

Mark Ingram Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Hi, as af-user has already mentioned, this is caused by your current ICC profile in Windows. Windows itself, along with most apps like Notepad don't use this ICC profile, so you'll only really notice it in Affinity apps (or Adobe apps).

andre luiz Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 See my print was the same problem, go to device manager, then activate or upgrade the drive.
Benson Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 So, great news: I solved it.Thanks to @af-user for the link to the "white-is-not-white"-thread and his post there. How I solved it:I downloaded the ICC-profiles (from the other thread) and installed it. Nothing changed in AD. I had to set the profile manually in windows. I used this guide: https://pcmonitors.info/articles/using-icc-profiles-in-windows/The first five steps did the job. I set it to "sRGB IEC619966-2.1" and made it the standard profile.Done. @andre luiz: I tried it, but it did not worked for me. My current driver is the newest. Great forum, thanks. Mark Ingram 1
