I can't change the document type


Recommended Posts

Hi, under document setup there's a dropdown menu called type, when I change this and hit ok the type sets itself back to print again. I'm also having the same problem as I've posted about before where the document ignores the colour profile it's set to and over saturates everything no matter what settings in the OS, preferences and document setup I change

edit: to add a third issue, the colour picker takes a random colour completely different to the one clicked on

The Type dropdown basically acts as a category selection, each category has various presets available. Once chosen, if you reopen the Document Setup, the Type will be set back to Print, it's the first in the list. The other options on the Dimensions, Colour, Margins etc panels are still set as they should be. Can you expand on the issue you have with the document ignoring the set colour profile and the saturation, perhaps provide some screenshots.

In reference to the Colour Picker issue, are you picking a colour from a selected layer, is this a Pixel layer? Are you in a particular colour mode when this occurs, if so which one?

If you have any steps to follow to reproduce these issues, please include them.

Hi Lee, thanks for the help, the colour profile issue is that when I import an image into Designer the colours change significantly in the image. I've tried every combination of colour profile in the document setup, preferences and on the monitor itself with no luck including having everything set to the default. I can get it close to the same as outside the program by setting my monitor to the default profile but then everything on the screen shows incorrectly anyway. When I asked about this in the past it was suggested that Affinity Designer is trying to compensate for the screen, if this is the case is it possible to turn that off? Thanks! :D
