Preview image differs slightly from downloaded image

The shown and downloaded preview image has a blue filter and an overall brighter look.

However, the licensed image is somewhat darker. Looks dull at my end.

Opened it in various apps, browsers, hardware acceleration on or off.

This is the first time I've noticed a difference between a licensed image and a sample one.

 

Thoughts, please? I'm not too fussed about a credit, although I won't use it because it is darker.

Hi @Grant Barker,

I agree, it's not just darker but everything has a blue tint to it, including the skin tones. I'll have the content team review the asset to see if anything can be done. I have granted you a replacement license so you can choose another asset. Thanks for reporting this,

Did you check the colour profile? The requirement for Adobe stock contributors is to put the image in sRGB, but some uploaders don't check that correctly.

Hi. In Photoshop, under Image - Mode - it says RGB Color / 8 Bits.
Thanks. Maybe the uploader can replace it with one similar to the sample.

Thanks very much. I look forward to using the image if the uploader makes it like the sample image.
(I wonder how one goes about knowing if and when a more recent image is uploaded. I guess the number will change. I'll keep an eye on their collection.)
Thanks for your time.
