PNG over saturated on image sequence import

Post by madrobot »

Hello! I am putting some parts of a stop motion clip together with Moho. I am having an issue with a PNG image sequence which I imported as an image sequence layer. The images are really bright in Moho (and render), like oversaturated. But not in other applications - Affinity Photo 2 (photoshop clone) and photos app just looking at them. Is there a PNG or image sequence setting I have overlooked? There were no issues testing and assembling jpeg image sequence. So weird!

Usually a PNG image should be pretty reliable in terms of colour. Could you post an example image?

It looks overexposed.

I suspect your PNGs are 16-bit or 32-bit. You should be able to convert them down to 8-bit - which should make Moho happier.

Within Affinity you should be able to view the Document Info and particularly the Color Info and convert the Color Format.
