  • Imported images are washed out?

On my second animation the colours are washed-out on imported images. On the first animation this did not happen. The images were exported from Affinity Designer using the Spine exporter and on-disk the import images are not washed-out.

Please note I don't have a tint set on the attachment.

O/S: macOS 10.5.4
Spine: 3.8.95 Essential.

Can you post or email one of your images? PNG files have a gamma setting that is a nightmare. Can you check you are exporting your PNGs as sRGB? They should show up correctly in Spine then.

Do you know what color profile your monitor is using? Please note Spine doesn't do color management, though we have plans to do so in the next version. That means if you have a wide gamut monitor and are using a wide gamut color profile, the colors may not look the same in Spine as they do in Affinity Designer.

The technical side of colors gets complicated really fast!

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Here is one of the PNGs: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqJy6uMixvRxgepvwZqnFzJTYKwjjw?e=CBhntw

I don't see an option to select sRGB in the Affinity Designer exporter, so I don't know about that, but I checked that is was the same as the previous animation's images, which I didn't have this problem with.

I am on a Mac mini with a Samsung monitor and the colour profile is set to U28E590, which is the model of the monitor.

I first noticed the difference in Chrome, which developing the game, so it's not just in Spine that there is a difference.

Update: looks like there is a colour profile option in the Affinity products (https://affinityspotlight.com/article/display-colour-management-in-the-affinity-apps/), so I will have a play with it tomorrow. This is almost certainly the issue.

Thanks again,
Andy

That was it! The document setup itself was not set to sRGB on the second animation, and it wasn't an export option. Once I converted it, everything was fine.

Great! Glad you got it worked out. 🙂
