Richard Liu Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi, I have the latest version of Affinity Photo running on a MacBook Pro 17" under macOS 10.12.6. When I use a Soft Proof adjustment layer to soft proof my edited photo before printing, I check the box to show the out-of-gamut areas. The tutorial leads me to believe they should be grey, but they seem to be black on my setup, and, depending on the photo, it takes a lot of playing around with the Curves adjustment to get rid of most of them. Is there a special meaning to black areas, as opposed to grey? While I'm at it: Where can I read up on curves, gamut, etc.? I've never used such a photo editing program before, not even Lightroom or Photoshop. Thanks.

Staff Callum Posted July 5, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hi Richard Liu, Welcome to the forums Please could you go to Document > Colour Format and try setting to 16/8bit RGB to see if that makes your gamut show as grey? You can find informative links for curves and gamuts etc below! https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/index.html?page=/Clr/ClrProfiles.html?title=Colour management https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/index.html?page=/Adjustments/adjustment_softProof.html?title=Soft Proof adjustment C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
