Question

"Export as" preview has different contrast

When I hit 'export as' the contrast in the images increases drastically.
The images is displayed correctly in photos on Windows, but the contrast is increased in Google Drive, WhiteWall and on iPad and iPhone.

The color profile is sRGB IEC61966-2.1, I have tried other color profiles (Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB, image P3), but with no luck. 

Is there someone who knows how to fix this?

Or use Save for Web, which may be old, but works perfectly with no bugs that I'm aware of.

    Have you tried »Save a Copy« instead of exporting?

      @c.pfaffenbichler Yeah I'd always recommend users take control of "exporting" images by resizing a copy (archiving the original with layers et al) to the final size required, sharpening and, if needed, convert to the right ICC colorspace. Then SAVE AS.

       

      I hope this helps

        Color management is broken in the Export dialog, which leads to a preview with wrong colors. This is particularly noticeable on a wide gamut monitor, which you seem to have.

        If you are using the File Explorer to view Google drive files, they will display over saturated, because it's not color managed. Neither is the Windows desktop, btw.

         

        WhiteWall seems to be a printing service, are you talking about prints having wrong colors?

        I don't use an iPhone or an iPad, but they are supposed to have some kind of color management.

        Maybe somebody who does use them can comment on this.
