Is it my ICC display profile? Should I set it to sRGB and then color correct my document to have the colors be what I had before? I'm attaching a small sample of both the Affinity document and the exported PNG in case it helps determine what the issue is. Switching back the ICC profile to Dell's (restarting the computer after each change) had the document display again using the 'original' colors, and the export ignore them and display the saturated bright red. So, both images matched, although the colors are not the ones I intended. I've tried exporting the image to PNG, JPG, and EXR using the defaul settings, all delivering the same result.Īn interesting thing I ran into was that changing my display ICC profile to sRGB instead of Dell's profile, changed the colors displayed in Affinity to the ones shown in the exported image (which made my image in Affinity appear incredibly bright and saturated). Affinitiy is set to use sRGB for its default color profile, and my document is using sRGB too.
I'm using Dell's ICC profile for display (on Windows 10). It turns out I might be already using the suggested workflow. I've found some interesting stuff along the way.įirst, thanks a lot Psenda for the color management article. I've gone through each post and taken a look at a few things. Thanks a lot to everyone who have posted here with suggestions.
