hello coccus Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hi.. I use this document setup: type: print (press ready) color format: cmyk/8 color profile: U. S. web coated (SWOP) v2 But I have some issues, when I choose the color on the box, and I pick that color with "color picker tool" to coloring another object, the result is totally different, only cmyk code is the same. Yes I can just copy the #xxxxxx code to coloring another object, but I want to use that color picker tool because it's simple. And the client usually use AI to open eps file, I tried to export my files from affinity to eps file, and open it in AI, and yes the color code is changing, I'm confused :p Please help me to solve this issues. Thank you for your attention :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Why are you using RGB HEX Values in a CMYK document? If you change the Colour Panel to CMYK the Panel will show: Using the Colour Picker to select from the original circle will maintain the 47,0,7,0 colour. hello coccus 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Thank you so much for your answer, it's really really helpful Yes, because mostly I work on digital I keep using RGB mode, and I'm still learning for printing purpose.
