HerbSch Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I just installed Affinity Publisher (10 day trial) on my windows 10 computer. When loading black and white images (jpg) into a document, they are displayed with a strong sepia tone. This is indepenend from the chosen color mode (RGB, CMYK, grayscale). Also the color panel on the right side is sepia. (see attachment) When exporting to pdf the resulting fine in some cases b&w sometimes also sepia (could not figure out what caused the different outcomes). Interestingly, I also installed Affinity Designer (test version) and had the same issue. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbSch Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Here you see on the left the original picture from the explorer folder. In the middle you see the picture how it appears after inserting it into a document. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerbSch Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Thanks Callum. Should I provide the afpub file? Just as an attachment in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I would guess the monitor has a wrong colour profile applied.

In every other software the pictures look fine on the same monitor (GIMP, PS, LR; Power Point....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted October 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 9, 2019 Just one of the image files in question please. This could definitely be a monitor colour profile issue however typically that also effects the white of the canvas, please could you try the suggestions found below just so we can rule this out?

HerbSch Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) The problem appears with any b&w image. Not matter which I try. I also changed the color mode of my monitor to different settings (sRGB, Office, Photo, Video...). It doesn't make any difference. I don't work with a notebook and a second monitor. Just a desktop computer with one monitor. Edited October 9, 2019 by HerbSch attachment no longer necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northstar Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I am having the same issue after upgrading from the last Affinity Publisher release. It did not appear before that. While everything prints OK, it is visually annoying. Any ideas???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
