yvberj Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I'm relatively new to Affinity and definitely have a lot to learn. I've just come across this problem which I can't seem to resolve. I've been exporting to .jpg files without problem, until today. I saved a .afphoto file and also exported it to save as a .jpg, however, this time some of the colors changed. The red in one of the buildings is redder in the .afphoto file (which is what I want), than in the .jpg file. I tried to upload the .jpg to show you what I mean, but it won't upload. I could use some help. Thanks yvberj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 You could use ImgBB.com that generates several types of links that are compatible with forums. Check the colour formats for the afphoto file and then the jpeg, both should likely be sRGB: Document > Colour Format Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

I've been using Adobe RGB because (I thought) it accommodated more colors. Quote Windows 11 Pro, XP-Pen Deco 03, AP, AD & APub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus one may better reference some more reputational photography sites, instead of internet based making money models.

From the looks of it, little if anything on the Ken Rockwell web site is newer than 2006. So for example, the comment that "Adobe RGB requires special software ..." might have had (some) validity 10+ years ago, today there is nothing very "special" about apps supporting Adobe RGB, as well as several other color spaces. 35 minutes ago, v_kyr said: Thus one may better reference some more reputational photography sites, instead of internet based making money models. To be fair about it, the Cambridge in Colour site promotes a book, so there is a money making aspect to it, but it is a well respected source for a wealth of info about photography, digital processing, & related topics.
