I'm getting colour space shifting when I export a PNG with or without transparency from Photo iOS. Attached are a couple of photos...one exported as a jpeg - it has normal/expected colours. The other was exported as a PNG...massive colour shift. Any ideas what is causing this?

iPadOS

That should read 'Photoshop iOS'.

This looks like an image in the ProPhoto color space that has been exported without checking Convert to sRGB and Embed profile, and then opened in a web browser.

Web browsers will assign the sRGB profile to untagged images (that don't have an embedded profile), and since the image was created in ProPhoto, sRGB is the wrong profile, and the colors wiil be muted.

When I open the image in Photoshop and assign the ProPhoto profile, it displays correctly.

Always check Convert to sRGB and Embed profile when exporting.

Thanks for your input. I understand all this. The problem is the iOS version of Photoshop does not seem to have an option for colour space or prfile embed export for PNG. Please let me know where to find those options in Photoshop for iPad. The original files that have bad colour also report as sRGB colour space in desktop Photoshop. Also the source files are sRGB. My workflow in this situation involved exporting from iPad Lightroom with 'edit in photoshop', then adding an alpha layer in iPad Photoshop and then exporting as PNG to preserve transparency.
