Daniele Salvatore Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I have upoaded a B/W photo in AP and I got the message that it was assigned a Grayscale D50. Therefore it is not possible to apply any colour as I wanted. I enclose a screen-shot to show as it is. Quote
Staff MEB Posted January 10, 2017 Staff Posted January 10, 2017 Hi Daniele Salvatore, Go to menu Document ▸ Colour Format and change it to RGB. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Daniele Salvatore Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 Hi Daniele Salvatore, Go to menu Document ▸ Colour Format and change it to RGB. Thank you for the very fast answer; I have changed the setting and now it works. The strange matter is that prevuiosly I have uploaded several B&W photos and never I got this change from Colour to Grayscale. Quote

Alex Tesic Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 I have another question concerning Grayscale D50. Is it possible to obtain generic Grayscale in Designer? Quote

Everything needs to have a working profile. The Affinity applications use D50, but iF you have some alternative Grayscale profile you'd like to use, just install it on your system and you should be able to set it as your document's profile.

FWIW: Generic Gray Profile.icc Generic Gray Gamma 2.2 Profile.icc ... Yeah, but I am on Windows, and when I open that window I get only Greyscale 50. I am having a problem with printing books with that, they tell me I need generic greyscale. Can you instruct me how to install it on my system? I mean, a link for that driver. I thought it was by default on Windows. Thanks! Quote

iconoclast Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 On Windows, the colour-profiles are stored under the following path: C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color If you have different greyscale-profiles stored there, Photo should be able to find them and display them in the profile-menus, I think. But I haven't tested it yet with greyscale-profiles. All my other profiles, also the ones I added, are displayed correctly, as far as I see. Alex Tesic 1 Quote

Charletti Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 As Alex Tesic says, the Windows version of Affinity 1 has no option (as with Mac) to change from Greyscale 50 to Gamma 2.2. iconoclast gave advice on colour profiles with Windows - a rather different story! Does anyone know how to change the gamma value rather than changing the gamma value in Levels. Is there a profile which can be imported for example?? BTW I am not willing to upgrade to Affinity 2!
