Hello, my edits look rich in Photoshop, but the exported JPEG looks flat everywhere else. Reds go dull and skin tones look a bit grey. Opening the same file back in Photoshop looks fine, so it only shows up in other apps and on the web.Setup: Photoshop 2025, Windows 11, calibrated monitor.Already tried:Working space set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Export As with "Convert to sRGB" ticked Save a Copy with ICC profile embeddedThe sRGB conversion helped a little, but the shift is still there and clients notice it.Is this a monitor profile problem on my end, or am I missing a step at export? Happy to share screenshots.Thanks.

Hello, my edits look rich in Photoshop, but the exported JPEG looks flat everywhere else. Reds go dull and skin tones look a bit grey. Opening the same file back in Photoshop looks fine, so it only shows up in other apps and on the web.

Setup: Photoshop 2025, Windows 11, calibrated monitor.

Already tried:

Working space set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Export As with "Convert to sRGB" ticked
Save a Copy with ICC profile embedded

The sRGB conversion helped a little, but the shift is still there and clients notice it.

Is this a monitor profile problem on my end, or am I missing a step at export? Happy to share screenshots.

Thanks.

Please set the Status Bar to »Document Profile« and post meaningful screenshots of one image open in Photoshop and in one of the applications with the faulty display.

You can also go to Edit → Convert to Profile for converting the image to sRGB before exporting, rather than relying only on the export option.

Haven't tried that one yet, thanks. So convert the document to sRGB first, then export without the convert box ticked? I'll test it on the same file tonight and report back.

Are you Exporting or using Save As?

Mostly File > Export > Export As with "Convert to sRGB" ticked. I've also tried Save a Copy with the profile embedded, same result. Should I be sticking to one of them?
