Adisan Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hey guys, I have a serious problem with all my Affinity products, whatever image i load it shows the Green and Blue Channels swapped. Is there some setting that can do this? I just reinstalled it with no success. I have 2x2070RTX using 417.71 as driver Here's a snapshot of the whole UI https://i.imgur.com/M3z9ZFN.jpg The opened image is this one: https://www.pexels.com/photo/gray-bridge-and-trees-814499/ here's a direct link: https://images.pexels.com/photos/814499/pexels-photo-814499.jpeg?cs=srgb&dl=arch-bridge-clouds-814499.jpg&fm=jpg I did a reset of the prefs using Ctrl at launch and removing the AppData\Roaming\Affinity folder For me Photo & Designer are now unusable Thanks Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 That image works just fine for me, using either Photo 1.6.5.123 or Photo beta 1.7.0.258. I have no guesses why it's not working for you, other than that you seem to have a downlevel graphics card driver. I can't be sure, but from a brief search I think 419.35 is the current one, so you might try removing your current video driver and installing the newer one.

firstdefence Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Install the Beta versions and see if the channels are swapped, if they are I would say you've got some setting in your graphic drivers set wrong.

firstdefence Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I've just messed around in the Channel Panel and I can replicate the colouration by creating Spare Channels I create a spare channel of the Green and rename it to Spare Channel - Green I create a spare channel of the Blue and rename it Spare Channel - Blue I load Spare Channel - Green to the Blue Background I load Spare Channel - Blue to the Green Background Have you done anything like this?

Adisan Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 I did try to use WARP but i get the same, simply G and B are swapped. Same happens in beta, in Designer and in Publisher. pWbm6RYrbE.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adisan Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Frankly speaking the G is not even a proper blue it's more towards magenta. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstdefence Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The other option is to install such as gimp to see if the channels in that app are swapped if they are, this would point to a system wide issue not an affinity centric issue. If the channels are correctly assigned then it must be an issue with affinity.

Adisan Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 All the other apps are fine with the display (Gimp, Nuke, Houdini etc etc), it's not a display problem , driver is at it's default, it's just Affinity that has this issue. Exporting the image to whatever format shows the image is correct G=G, B=B while the UI in Affinity is G=Band B=G A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Display issues can happen in Affinity that do not affect other programs and are down to Windows settings, so don't dismiss a Windows setting as being part of the problem just yet Can you upload screenshots of your Preferences > Colour Dialogue in Affinity plus the Windows Colour Management settings for both the Advanced and Devices Tabs (that's 3 screenshots in total) You can see 2 of them referenced in this thread https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/81243-newbie-color-display-issues-in-photo-publisher-beta-1702579/ Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Adisan Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 That was it, the monitor ICP was doing it. Thanks for all your help guys. Cheers A firstdefence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
