Feature Request-Color management in Adobe XD

  • March 16, 2020

When will Adobe finally implement color management in XD? Now all colors are desaturated when viewed in browser. I know it's because XD uses the color management of the OS, but I want to design in sRGB instead of P3... This is a problem since the first release. 

 

What is the reason this is not solved? Or can I do something to solve this?

    Finally!!!!, my concern now is, up until when will Adboe XD will work since you already purchased Figma?

    Basically, should I now move all my workflow again? I waited for years for this update but I'm afraid it may have come too late.

    Adobe has not purchased Figma yet, they've only announced their intent to. The purchase must still be approved by United States and European lawmakers.

     

    That said, XD is no longer being sold to new customers and Adobe has virtually stopped all development except for bug fixes. To be honest I'm surprised to see color management finally get added! So XD is on life support and I'd recommend switching to Figma as soon as possible. Whether Adobe is allowed to buy it or not, Figma has the future whereas XD does not.

    Hello, I have a litte workaround to work with almost propriate colors. The colors in XD are too saturated. Therefore I make a rectangle with a lightgray filling and 20% opacity (fillmode= saturation). I place it on top of my entire design and lock it. To adjust the layer opacity and the greytone just export your design as an image and open it in a browser or photoshop to compare the result. 

    I hope you know what I mean. Regards

      2 years later, still no information. I don't think that the Engineering team is taking us serious. One word... UNBELIEVABLE!

       

      And please don't say: "We're so sorry for the delay. As of now, I am afraid, we don't have time frame by when this will be available however let me assure you, I'll share your feedback with the Engineering team. Please stay tuned to this request https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/17480899-color-man... for any update."   It's 2 years ago! GO AND FIX IT.

        That's really pathetic. This feature was requested years ago. NOTHING has happened. A feature that others have long mastered. Adobe is resting on its laurels that have dried up long ago.

          May 2022 version 51, still no color management. So as a UI-UX designer what options do I have?. Figma or Sketch, both color managed. I'll go with Figma, and so I did, best option available. I got tired of waitng and waitng for Adobe to put his issueas together while we are paying.

            what is taking this so long to be resolved? I think this should be a number one priority rather than giving us new features. Without color management Adobe Xd will be a simple design application and not a prototyping software as developers need to use accurate colors.

                  Same here. Or old skool Sketch as an alternative. With the millions and marketing sharpness Adobe has, you would say they would have fixed this instantly as they are obvious loosing ground

                    It feels like they will stop developing XD in the future. They have "feature started" from 2017! That's unbelievable. Something goes wrong with Adobe and the XD team.

                    This is absured. It's a constant hassle. When will this be implemented?

                      I'm still over here desperately waiting for this basic feature.... 

                      FYI, it's definately not SRGB as all of my images are SRGB and it desaturates everything on export.

                        I have spent a lot of time designing the app in XD, but my output is red instead of blue

                        Adobe XD is said to be a young piece of software, but Adobe is used to costing others to grow their young apps, like Photoshop iPad and etc
