flipside05us Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Hello everyone, my first post here. I just recently bought Affinity Photo and Designer, in Affinity Photo whenever I export a photo after editing it, the resulting image has a green tint to it and is no way close to what I had in my original edit and cannot figure why this is happening. I have tried different color profiles in the export under the "more" button but no luck. But if I export the photo without editing it, it comes out just as it was originally from the camera itself, but after editing it, it comes out green again after export. I have tried what I can and have now run out of ideas, can someone please help me. Thanks in advance. Quote
firstdefence Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Hi welcome to the forum, What camera are you using? What Operating System are you on? Are you editing as a RAW file in Develop Persona or as a jpeg/tiff etc in Pixel Persona?

flipside05us Posted January 5, 2019 Author Posted January 5, 2019 Hi guys, The raw file(NEF) is from a Nikon D700 in srgb profile. I did basic color correction like white balance, color balance and sharpening and curves adjustment. I also did raw correction in the develop persona and my OS is windows 10. I used to use Photoshop and have never had this issue but I'm pretty sure it's more user error than software error. I'm hoping you guys can help point me in the right direction to find the issue. Thanks. Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I'll start by assuming that you used all the same Export settings when you exported before editing as when you exported after editing. Can you share the file with us? If so, it would be good to have a .afphoto file saved before you do any editing, and one saved after you did your edits. It would also be good to have a screenshot of your Export settings dialog (with and without the More... dialog opened).

flipside05us Posted January 5, 2019 Author Posted January 5, 2019 First one is unedited viewed through windows photo Second one after importing to Affinity Photo unedited. (Note, already has red color cast for some reason.) Third one after editing in Affinity photo (HSF Shift adjustment, Exposure adjustment, Color Balance and White balance.) Fourth one after exporting now with green tint. (I flattened image first before exporting.) Here's the weird bit, thew fifth shot is after importing but not editing and exporting it straight away untouched and notice no green tint. Also I used paint to save the screen shots (except the last one) because for some reason Affinity photo puts a red casts to all pasted or imported images just like the second picture. Also I also have two monitors and both display the same problem and both set to srgb profile. Hope this helps. Thanks. Quote

flipside05us Posted January 5, 2019 Author Posted January 5, 2019 HI Guys, I think I got it, basically my Asus monitor was using its own color profile (YCbCr422) and thus representing the wrong colors when an image is loaded. After editing in Affinity with the wrong profile, it came out green and this was represented in my other monitor and also the Asus. I then changed the color profile of the the Asus to the same color profile of the LG monitor (Srgb) and voila! It now comes out fine after editing and exporting. Thanks all who replied. Quote
