simoncooper118 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi folks, my printing company has asked me to use Adobe RGB for my colour profile, but looking in the Preferences that isn't one of the options. Is it called something else or just AD not support it as yet? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 You would set it up under the document settings as a color profile to use for the respective document.

simoncooper118 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 I don't think it's in the list though. Should it be in RGB8 or 16 or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 it should be Adobe RGB Designer Photo Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 It‘s an icc profile like sRGB but has a slightly wider gamut than that.

toltec Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 WHY NOT ? It would be so much easier if you said if you are using Designer or Photo and on a Mac or a PC !!! Edit.

simoncooper118 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm trying to download the Adobe RGB profile from their site - hopefully this will resolve things and it will automatically appear in the options from now on. Apologies if I've been a bit dense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Tap in the Colour Profile menu (as shown in my grab) and do a screen grab. I find it very hard to believe that Adobe RGB (1998) is not in there. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Adobe ICC Profiles download for Windows though you can get (download) it also from other internet resources. Or even better this link here ...

simoncooper118 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 Well it's got me bamboozled. I've looked in both the widows folder and the affinity designer folder and a Adobe rgb file is present in both but there's just nothing showing in the drop down. Is there any setting that you can put on that would be incompatible with it and thus prevent it from appearing? Has anyone else had this issue? If not would it be best to reinstall the programme? Thanks for the help so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Lee D Posted January 15, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 15, 2019 Can you check the following location to see if the AdobeRGB icc profile is listed as these are provided by the app, but aren't installed into the default Windows location for ICC profiles. C:\Program Files>Affinity>Affinity Designer>Resources>icc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
