We really need colour Management!

Explorer ,
Apr 17, 2023 Apr 17, 2023

it has been said all over the Internet in feature requests and here too - we really need colour management or at least a non-wacky behaviour of XD regarding colour.
We're working with XD since Day1, love it and use it way beyond what it is officially meant for... essential tool, more open every day than photoshop and illustrator togehter.

 

Yet, exporting artboards is a mess in terms of colour, it's always wrong, never accurate, even when you testdrice concrete HEX values and export as png, reopen in PS to check, never correct.
We're super unhappy as this means a lot of work and in some cases renders using XD useless.

All the great things about this great tool vanish with this, when you can't even do a quick static banner for a client as corporate colours will not be correct....
What are the plans here?

On top, since a few versions, exporting x1 results in blurry drawings and sluggish type.

P.s. I'm working as graphic designer and print designer since 25 years now. Please don't point me to the usaul SRGB workarounds etc. this is not the problem (and i can't use SRGB when i'm using a hardware colour calibrated Eizo...( i mean, c'mon!)

Given that Adobe is now restricting access to new downloads of XD, I would not expect to see this fixed ever. If color management is a critical issue for you, I would look to another tool.

In short: 

  • See the messages in this forum about the access issue in Creative Cloud.
  • Also look at the updates to the tool over the past months.
  • The amount of time it took to fix the link to the UI kits.
  • Letsxd.com is now shut down and Howard Pinsky now focusing on Photoshop.

I think the plan was to sunset XD, migrate everyone to Figma, but that might not happen. There are issues around the acquistion according to third party reports.
