Imdur Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 I've been noticing a strange issue where I took internal screenshots from my video editor (Sony Vegas 13) and imported the shots into Affinity Photo for a DVD cover I'm making. Basically, when I compare the shots directly from the timeline of Vegas to the same shot in Affinity, it does not match. I cannot figure out what's wrong, so I did a little search on here, but I can't find a solution. I've uploaded a comparison shot showing what my timeline looks like (Right-hand side) to the look I'm getting in Affinity Photo (left side) - https://imgur.com/mUQC4RG As can be seen, the video looks fine, but the picture opened in Affinity Photo looks a bit washed out. I guess it's a colour space issue, but, I really don't know how it's happening. Can someone help? I guess I'd better offer some info on my setup: - I have a Spyder 5 Pro that I use with DisplayCal (Screen calibrated) - Affinity Photo is set to the standard sRGB colour space - Sony Vegas is set to default settings (no alternate colour space) Thanks in advance Quote
Dan C Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Hi Imdur Affinity Photo automatically detects the monitor colour profile and you need to have all colour settings in preferences at their default values for the colour of images not to change in Affinity. Could you please confirm your colour settings are the same as below under Edit>Preferences>Colour? Please double check that Windows is set correctly by right clicking on the desktop, choosing display settings, advanced display settings, display adaptor properties for display 1, colour management. Here you should see the Spyder 5 Pro profile set against the monitor, is this correct? Quote
Imdur Posted October 21, 2018 Author Posted October 21, 2018 Hi Dan. Yes, the AP settings are set to default values as per that image you posted. And yes, windows is using the profile I created with the Spyder 5 Pro and DisplayCal. Quote
Imdur Posted October 21, 2018 Author Posted October 21, 2018 1 minute ago, >|< said: Does the screenshot file that you are opening in Affinity actually have the sRGB profile or is Affinity assigning sRGB to the document because the file has no profile? I checked the screenshots I have and I don't see any identifying information on colour spaces, just resolution and bit depth. So, I'm guessing there isn't any. Just for more info, the original video that the shots are taken from is a Panasonic G7. When I open the same picture in Paint.net or windows own photo viewer, they look correct. Quote
Imdur Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 What is the "Assign ICC Profile command"? Quote
Imdur Posted October 23, 2018 Author Posted October 23, 2018 I've had a go with the ICC profiles on my PC system, but, none of them seem to fit in a side by side comparison. I'll do a little google search to see what I find. Otherwise, I think I may need to use the closest ICC I have and then edit it to match, manually. If you have any other info, that would be most appreciated EDIT: Ok, I came away with a useable solution! Using the Display P3 ICC, I got very close. And with a small use of the HSL filter, I got it near-identical. Thanks for all the help Quote
