L-K Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hi I wanna report some bugs with this new Affinity Designer version for Windows : - In my Windows folder, the previews (icons) of my .afdesign CMYK documents shows wrong colors that doesn't are the same as in the picture I created (duller colors).. example = true white appears as a yellowish white. - Sometimes when I try to open Affinity Designer, it doesn't open. After reinstalled the 1.6.5 : - I can't open .afdesign files that I created with the 1.7.0 version, in the 1.6.5 version .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMYK gives weird values, fies from 1.7 doesn't open in previous version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-K Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 After reinstalling the 1.6.5, I still have CMYK weird values. Before the day I did the 1.7.0 update I never encountered this kind of problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L-K Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Thanks for your reply! Yes, I tried to reset preferences... It didn't work. When I clicked on "reset brushes" and other things like that, a windows appears, saying "Brushes restored to factory setting.". But when I click on "Reset User Defaults", no message, and I see my preferences haven't changed. I changed "Absolute colorimetric" for "Relative colorimetric". It seems to work for the new files I create in CMYK.. But not for those I did this week, which have still weirds CMYK colors and previews. I don't really know why. But when I copy and paste the vectors in another new document, It seems ok. For some of them, (after pasting) I have this color issues again, but when I change the colors manually, I don't have anymore this preview and weird CMYK issue I'm really happy !!!

VolkerMB Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hi, documents created in version 1.7 (or later) do not open in earlier versions. This is a common behavior among apps as the file format changes with the introduction of new features. It only works the other way around: documents created in 1.6.x are readable by AD/AP 1.7. Usually you are warned by the app to work on a copy of the original file as you might go back to version 1.6.x at a later stage. Regarding the yellowish tint of your documents: Could you please check the color settings in EDIT > PREFERENCES > COLOR. L-K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-K Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks for those explanations! Yes I looked at my colours preferences. I choosed a Fogra instead of US web coated for CMYK. But the problem was mostly "Absolute colorimetric". So, I selected "Relative colorimetric", and I don't have this kind of issues anymore. Is Perceptive colorimetric better than Relative or other options? And yes, I did a .EPS copy of my files, in order to open them in the 1.6.5 version.
