Hi, I used to set my working rgb space to Adobe RGB, but now it’s not available in all the new files (Just the sRGB), so there is a mismatch of color between my files. Any solution?
Thanks in advance.
Hi @Jose_Navio,
Welcome to the forum!
Not sure I follow exactly what you mean. If your display profile is Adobe RGB, setting a sprite to display would cover it, I imagine?
I’m using Aseprite version 1.3-beta5-x64.
For an individual sprite go to Sprite > Properties and look under advanced. You have two buttons, assign and convert color profile (they’re grayed out below because the example sprite is already in sRGB). The drop down menu has, for me, three options: None, sRGB and Display Profile.
If you need to edit sprites in bulk, consider writing a Lua script that uses Sprite:assignColorSpace or Sprite:convertColorSpace. These accept a file path string that leads to an .icc file, so you’d want to have Adobe RGB saved in that file format.
For the future go to Edit > Preferences > Color
check your display profile and working RGB space, and set your preferences for files with a profile and with no profile.
Best,
Jeremy
[EDIT: Woops. What I said earlier about the arguments accepted by sprite assign/convert methods is wrong. They accept a ColorSpace. The ColorSpace has a constructor which allows it to be created from a file path string. See the code below.]
Thanks Jeremy, the thing is now I only have those same three options, but before Adobe RGB also appeared. Maybe is something missing in my computer.
I’ll look into the Lua script as you say.
See you.
Hi @Jose_Navio ,
Hmm… I went back and checked with a file that already had an embedded profile, after switching my preferences for “Files with Profile” to “Use Embedded Profile.” I got a fourth option in sprite properties:
Maybe this is similar to your scenario? Hard to say without some more specifics and screen shots. You could test by opening two files with mismatched color.
Best,
Jeremy
Umm, I’m thinking, maybe is because I migrate from adobe software, importing old pngs into the aseprites files that I’ve been using since then. So…some way I embedded the icc profile without being concious about and I cannot replicate it again.
How can I insert a chosen icc profile into my files? Do a script to open with aseprite?
Thanks for your time.

Hi @Jose_Navo,
Thanks for the screen shots. Your game art looks good!
I don’t have a script that will exactly address the issue, but you could try something like this to see if it will solve your problem for at least one sprite. I’m pasting the script as well to minimize link rot.

I don’t have access to Adobe products, and what looked like the official Adobe color profile download link didn’t work, so I resorted to this Reddit post:
Here is a test:
Adobe1998 assigned.
Converted.
Assigned.
Converted.
The red arrow on the bottom of the first image you posted is, to my eye, the easiest indicator for whether this works, if it works at all. And while I didn’t take a screen shot, I did get an AdobeRGB as a fourth option when I loaded the image with the .icc.
Best,
Jeremy

Wow! It works really well, 1000 thanks! I will keep it like gold XD.
I had never code with lao so this spare me quite a time, hope I can learn in the future.
Thank you and best wishes to you.
