Bobaffinity Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I received a Photoshop file of a group of boxes. It was RGB so I converted it in AP to CMYK. No matter how I exported it, random pink pixels showed up along the edges of the boxes. (There is no background as the art is being placed over other art.) I asked the other designer to convert to CMYK and resend the art. The PS file looks fine but I had to do a slight rotation--and the trouble started over again. No matter what choices I make when exporting, I get those random pink pixels. I'm exporting as a tiff but nothing is working. Is this a bug? I'm having to use the PS file and rotate in InDesign (bad practice, I know) but AP simply won't work. Any suggestions for future projects?

Staff MEB Posted May 18, 2017 Staff Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hi Bob, Can you post a link to the afphoto file (hosted on a file sharing/cloud service) so we can take a look? Or just PM'me the link if you want to keep it private. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobaffinity Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Well, I guess my attachment didn't make it. I'll try again. 20170428_155304-ARotate3 12.40.00 PM.tiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobaffinity Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi MEB, Can you tell me what is going on here? I'm thinking this might be an AP bug, but if not, what is the solution? Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 20, 2017 Staff Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi Bob, The TIFF you have attached is already in CMYK format, so i have not chance to make the conversion myself. I'm also not seeing any random pink pixels after rotating the layer with the boxes using the Move tool and exporting the file as a CMYK TIFF. Can you please attach a screenshot of the random pink pixels you are seeing? What Affinity Photo version are you using? and on which platform - Windows or Mac? How are you rotating the layer? Thanks.

Bobaffinity Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi MEB, I downloaded the tiff from the forum. Looks good--no pink pixels. But as soon as I placed it into InDesign--the problem returned. It also occurs when I open it in Preview. I'm running AP 1.50 on a Mac OS 10.7.5. I'm not going to take anymore of your time now but if it occurs in the future I'll get back to you. Thanks so much for all you are doing for/with Affinity.

Staff MEB Posted May 20, 2017 Staff Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi Bob Thanks for the additional info. I'm seeing the pink pixels in Apple Preview too. Will check this out in InDesign... The latest Affinity Photo version available is 1.5.2 Can you please update the program (using Mac App Store app) and check if this issue persist there? Thanks.

Bobaffinity Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hi MEB, I'm afraid the problem is still there. Strange! Although when I save in different modes it does look a little different. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
