Unlike Photoshop CC (but like Lightroom), I don’t believe you can confirm the prevailing profile via Affinity itself. Monitor profileĪffinity Photo accesses the default monitor profile assigned in your operating system. Note that each of the above options can be ticked on and off in the Color Preferences window. This gives you a heads-up that the color may display incorrectly. And it’s better to be warned if a photo without an embedded profile is being assigned the working profile. You also won’t want the software to convert all open files to the working color space. That said, you’ll generally want black point compensation switched on. Other color preferencesįor most of us, the color preference settings in Affinity can be left alone, except perhaps for the RGB Color Profile option at the top.

Do the same with the 32bit RGB Color Profile setting. You can change it to suit your photography and the purpose of your photos, as detailed above. You simply go to Preferences>Color>RGB Color Profile. Setting the working color space in Affinity is simple, though it’s not labeled a “working space” as such. Some programs force you to use sRGB as the working space, for instance, which means you forfeit many of the colors digital cameras can capture. The ability to make this choice seems mundane until it’s taken away.
