Joachim_L Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Bug or just an idiotic experiment which never happens in "real life"? My setup: Placed CMYK image; colours = C0M100Y100K0, C0M0Y0K80, one spot colour Step 1: Fill image with pre-defined 100% K from swatch. Colour of image changes to whatever Publisher calculates. Revert the action. Step 2: Fill image with 80% K. Colour is completely different from the result of 100% K. Revert the action. Step 3: Fill image right after another with the red, the spot colour and 80% K. Colour is different from step 2. What is Publisher doing here? Adding colours? I would expect, that once you change the fill, it is like setting the fill to None and then applying the other colour. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Sorry, I was unclear. I didn't mean the source of the colors. I meant: Exactly what steps are you taking when you say that you "fill the image". I can think of several ways of filling an image, and some of them would perhaps have the effect you have described. Having a sample file with your image and swatches would also help. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted April 26, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hi @Joachim_L, Sorry for the delayed reply. I could not reproduce this in the latest internal build. Can you please check it again once the new update is live on the forums and confirm if it's still an issue? Thanks, Gabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Will do so, but due to the pending Brexit a download of British software takes more than a hour, but probably I am just sitting only on a slow connection. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim_L Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Still the same. But I can get it even more complicated. To eliminate error sources I added C0M0Y0K100 and C0M0Y0K0 to my palette. Try 1: Filling the image from palette with 100% K or 80% K or White does seem to fit. Try 2: Filling the image from palette with Red, HKS 7 and 80% K seems to add? / multiply? colours. Try 3: What the fourletterword are the colours right to the palette dropdown in Swatches panel are meant for? The rectangle with the red line means "No colour", so far so obvious. The next three ones I strongly believed, that they represent 100% K, 50% K and White are ... what? ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted April 29, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hmm.. very odd. I will log this with our developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S. Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It happens when you place picture with the place-tool. If you first create a picture frame and then import a picture and try to "fill" with a color from the swatches the picture remains as it is.

Joachim_L Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Thanks, I will test this. If it is so like you said, then in IMHO handling images in Publisher went the wrong way. I don't see the benefit (yet) handling / placing / manipulating images in two different ways. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
