James Leonard Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hello everyone, When I use any of the Nik Plugins there is a tonal difference between the image as edited in the plugin and when returned to Affinity photo. The shadow tones are lighter with less contrast. This is whilst editing 16 bit TIFF, Prophoto RGB files imported directly from Capture One 9, but have also used Affinity's RAW development with the same results. I recall reading somewhere that NIK software was optimised for the Adobe RGB colour space so I tried that. It made no difference. My PC is running Windows 10 and the monitor, a BenQ SW2700PT, is calibrated using an i1 Display Pro. Any ideas would be great as the problem is effectively rendering the plugins unusable.

Staff MEB Posted March 16, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi James Leonard, Welcome to Affinity Forums This is a known issue in Affinity. Currently we don't pass colour profiles info/data to the plugins. sRGB should give you closer match between Affinity and the plugin preview but this is obviously not acceptable for high end work.

James Leonard Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks for the information. Hopefully, this will be an issue that Serif will address in the future. It's not going to be a problem for me. Since switching to Affinity I've rarely felt the need to use anything else. curio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cello Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 if you are competing with others it would be a good fix for all users. This renders many plugins useless, Viveza 2 etc if there is no colour profile being passed and the image is out of sync. This should be an easy fix for you. I have just purchased Affinity and find this limiting in my workflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
