William Overington Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I notice that there is a facility to export a palette. It seems to use a proprietary Serif palette format specific to Affinity products. Would it be possible to also be able to export using the .ase Adobe Swatch Exchange format please? Would there be intellectual property rights issues to doing that? William Intuos5 1 Quote Until December 2022, using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 in England.

thomaso Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I don't know the answer but see good news the other way: In case you want to import an .ase from your Adobe app into your .afpub document: you just can do it.

Joachim_L Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Do not expect too much from this feature. Spot colours won't be marked / imported as such (Neues Farbfeld). In Publisher I am not able to see if there is a RGB colour (Neues Farbfeld 2) or a Lab colour. In Indesign you will see it at once. See image for comparison.

Unusually: this imported spot color does not appear as global color swatch – though in AfPub one can create a spot color ONLY as global color.

Yes, unfortunately AfPub seems not to make a difference between color spaces of swatches: You simple choose a different slider (RBG, CMYK, Lab) to "define" its space. I assume, AfPub doesn't care about the color space and makes a decision only on export or print. I noticed when I import a Lab swatch from InDesign and copy it, it gets renamed by AfPub in Lab-name-style. The screenshot shows the afpub swatch copy selected (hilited blue), above the indesign imported swatch and name. So this seems to be sort of marker as Lab. @Joachim_L, are you on mac or windows? If mac, I wonder why you don't get the spot-color-marker-circle. And what if you copy the imported Lab-swatch? Does it get renamed in Lab-style?

Intuos5 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Being able to export palettes to ASE or other formats would be a tremendous help for me. I need to use my palettes in other software too... thomaso and Guillermo Espertino 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
