Colour Changes in FB Images

Question

Not sure where or how the error is coming in. I convert tif images to jpg for FB.

The pic looks great on the iMac and if I print it. However often the image looks too dark when viewed on a phone and lately there is a colour shift being caused somewhere. Sky blue will change to a magenta cast as per attached pics. Resaving the jpg from tif will often not pick up the colour cast. I am using Photoshop Beta and Topaz (purely for sharpening)

I also find I can no longer open an image in DeNoise on its own, the software just hangs.

Retina 4k, 21.5", 2017. Ventura 13.6, 32Mb RAM, 2Tb SSD.

Facebook is notorious for not properly reproducing color correctly. They have a very lossy compression algorithm to minimize the file sizes they need to save. What I do before posting a JPG image is to increase the image saturation and I save at 80% quality. That helps. As far as images being dark on your phone, that probably means you have your computer monitor set too bright. Do you calibrate your monitor. I also use Topaz's DeNoise AI to remove noise, but it is a Photoshop filter. I never use it as a stand alone program. I use it as the first step after bringing an image into Photoshop and before doing anything else. It works well.
