Brookie Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Hello. I'm new to Affinity, and I'm loving it! I'm having issues with my Affinity Photo and Designer displaying colors in the program. They're displayed completely different than they really are and are saved. I've checked my document color profiles, but can't find the problem. Please see screenshots. Left is how it displays in Affinity, right is how it is once saved. The InDesign .pdf that Publisher converted has kept the colors correctly, but won't display properly in the programs.... Thanks so much for any help!!!!

Staff Gabe Posted March 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hi @Brookie, Welcome to the forums. Can you please zip and attach the image in question? Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookie Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Capture_color differences2.zip Okay, you don't see the images above? Or is it just because the screenshots aren't zipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted March 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 13, 2019 I wanted to check the actual image and not your screenshot. However, I believe your issue is related to an incorrect ICC profile. Have a look here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookie Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Sorry, but that didn't help either. The ONLY color issues are in the affinity programs. The documents are set to RGB, and have a yellowish tint, but only in Affinity. My monitor was already set up as shown in the thread above. I was using this same monitor on another pc with Photoshop and InDesign, and didn't have this issue. The problem must be in Affinity somewhere, because these are the only programs that display the files with a yellowish tint...My picture and name are in a pure grey in the final .pdf. Please see screenshots below. Edited March 14, 2019 by Brookie fixed my bad grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted March 14, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 14, 2019 Can you please attach the .afphoto? I still believe it's a colour profile issue. Can you also attach a screenshot of your "Devices" tab from Windows Colour Management? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookie Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Okay, it's also doing the same thing in Designer, and I attached a small file from that as well. Thank you so much! indesign_prp_trk.ai img624.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Try unticking...

Brookie Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Sadly that didn't help. Still yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Strange, I have a ViewSonic VA903b and have to untick that setting or else I get a yellow display If you close and go back into the devices tab is it still unticked?

Brookie Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yes, it is still unticked... I have never in my years seen anything so strange. It's driving me nuts and making work difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 OK, the only other thing I can see in your Devices tab different to mine is that you have a "WCS Device Profile" called sRGB virtual device model profile" associated with your monitor I do not have that or any other "WCS Device Profile" listed there, so you could try highlighting then deleting that. Then try again with the "Use my settings for this device" ticked and unticked (restart affinity and test after any change you do) Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Brookie Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Okay, tried all that and it's still yellow...I feel like an idiot. This is ridiculous! But thanks so much for your help Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Ok, I'll have another think tomorrow but stick with it, lots of people have had this problem and they all got solved eventually.

walt.farrell Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Try clicking on the sRGB IEC61966-21 profile and then on Set as Default.

tommy91 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) dear all, having the same issue with the yellow teint but cant figure out where to change what exactly? in preferences i find that ominous iec61966-2.1 profile and it is already chosen... i dont know where to click that color profile to be able to choose it as default. using the monitor setting doesnt change anything either. as the final product usualy is in normal colors it didnt really bother me, but now publisher started to change the color of my screen captions?! so i started the investigation and came to this post. a short explanation where clicking what would be much appreciated thanks in advance edit: found the explanation here, in any case someone else lands here first Edited October 6, 2020 by tommy91 found solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
