Poor colour rendition in Affinity Publisher


Recommended Posts

I have only just tried Publisher. On setting up the colour preferences and the PDF outputting settings that best replicate what I have in Adobe InDesign, I not only found that a JPEG placed in Publisher was high in colour saturation and not the colour I had got it printed in InDesign.  I created a PDF from Affinity Publisher and InDesign and it is quite clear to see that there is a distinct difference. The PDF created in InDesign is much more preferable and realistic to the image I expected. Affinity Publisher does not match this quality.

Following MikeW's comment that I had created a PDF from APub using RGB colour space, he was indeed correct. The image looks quite correct now in APub.

Your PDF from APub is using the RGB color space. I don't know if that would produce such a variance or not and wouldn't know without source files.
