This is inadvertently having the wrong effect: I believe the way Affinity colour manages on Windows means that the profile is applied during startup, but cannot be changed or refreshed during app use. Try switching to Displaycal and using their profile loader and see if the problem persists. I find Displaycal does a better job than any of the commercial software I've used. I've never seen any colour difference between Affinity Photo and any of my other colour managed apps (the images look identical when viewed side-by-side). This solves the problem and will reapply the calibration as necessary. This is the reason that Displaycal comes with its own profile loader, which you need to check when installing the display profile after calibrating and profiling your monitor. It's also possible to lose the calibration if some other process resets it as the Windows profile loader won't reload it. You might be running into problems with limitations of the Windows profile loader, which according to the developer of Displaycal, scales incorrectly and has poor 8-bit quantization. It sounds like your calibration might have been reset by some other app and then when you activated the ICC profile after Affinity started, it reloaded the calibration as it should and you then see the correct colours. Maybe this helps to track down the problem? 14:20:07,767 Display configuration change detection took 0.I have just realized when I deactivate the ICC profile and open Affinity and activate the ICC profile after Affinity is started Affinity shows exactly the same colors like any other software. 14:20:07,767 C:\Program Files (x86)\Displa圜AL\lib\library.zip\Displa圜AL\profile_loader.py:2066: Warning: Registry access failed: Access is denied: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration 14:20:07,681 Reloading C:\Users\Walter\AppData\Roaming\Displa圜AL\Displa圜AL-apply-profiles.ini 14:20:07,681 SUCCESS: The parameters of scheduled task “\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsColorSystem\Calibration Loader” have been changed. 14:20:07,681 INFO: Scheduled task “\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsColorSystem\Calibration Loader” has already been disabled. 14:20:07,545 Using writeable comtypes cache directory: ‘c:\users\walter\appdata\local\temp\comtypes_cache\Displa圜AL-apply-profiles-27’ 14:20:07,243 Waiting for existing instance to exit and delete lockfile C:\Users\Walter\AppData\Roaming\Displa圜AL\Displa圜AL-apply-profiles.lock 14:20:07,040 Sent scripting request, awaiting response… 14:20:07,040 Lockfile C:\Users\Walter\AppData\Roaming\Displa圜AL\Displa圜AL-apply-profiles.lock 14:20:07,040 Loading C:\Users\Walter\AppData\Roaming\Displa圜AL\Displa圜AL-apply-profiles.ini 14:20:07,040 Loading C:\Users\Walter\AppData\Roaming\Displa圜AL\Displa圜AL.ini It looks like a permissions problem on the registry?
