How do I correct the preview colour issue

Hi guys!

Can anybody see the same thing I'm seeing? When I import my sprite, the colours look fine. In the layout and the sprite screen, the colours are nice and dark. As soon as I preview in Chrome, the colours suddenly appear bright.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing? Have I turned a setting on by mistake? I added a random image of a GIF apple, and that looks fine. Is it the fact that my animation is using PNGs?

save as single file and update your link

Yann is right, a .caproj file is just a list of other files in the project, and you haven't included any of them - make sure you save as a .capx which has everything.

Monitor callibration/colour correction can affect colours, I've seen the same happen in Firefox too - not sure there's anything we can do about it, it seems the browser decides what colour correction to apply.

Sorry about that. I've updated the link. The apple image appears to retain the colours, but the png animation doesn't. Wondering if I've done something wrong somewhere along the line.

It seems like your sprites were somehow at fault

try these UFO.zip

Thanks, Yann. It's somewhat worrying though. I rendered them directly from 3DS Max. Going to need to play around with the settings it seems. I assume you re-saved the frames from within Construct?

Nope I opened them in photoshop and batch saved them

I wonder what I did wrong then...

Rather than open up a new topic, can I ask another question here, or should I really open up a new one for each query?

I'm wondering how to set up the collision polygon. Is there a quick way to do it for each frame in an animation in one go? At the moment, I have to go through each frame and tell it to guess the shape. Is there a one-click solution to this? I tried the apply to other frames button, but that just duplicates the current shape.

I have had the same problem when rendering from MAX - it seems to store the gamma settings in the files, also some extra DPI info as well. When I import the files right into C2 they are often brighter AND the wrong size even when you click the 1:1 button. Meanwhile most other programs display them properly. I suspect the PNG importer is a tad too good in C2, taking into account too many options.

Edit: +1 on the automated one-click generation of collision masks. When you have dozens of frames it's a real pita to go through all of them and generate new collision polies.

Thanks Somebody! ...weird writing that... :)

I do recall seeing a gamma setting during rendering. I will go back and check that!
