Question

Image changes when exporting

I edit the whole photo, but when I export and open it it appears more saturated and with more contrast. How can I solve this?

Ps: I'm Brazilian, I don't know how to write in English, this text was translated on google translator.

The # after RGB/8 means that the image has no embedded profile. It is "untagged".

When you export, make sure to check both Convert to sRGB and Embed color profile.

When you open an untagged image in Photoshop, and choose not to assign a color profile to it, there is no color management, and the image will be displayed with wrong colors.

Because you seem to have a wide gamut monitor, the difference will be quite big, compared to the original.

What were the exact export settings? 

The orginal image was Adobe RGB, the resulting image does not have an embedded profile but looks different even though the working space is Adobe RGB. 

So it seems likely that you converted to sRGB on exporting, but did not embed the profile. 

 

One should always embed the profile.

Please set the Status Bar to »Document Profile« and post the screenshots again. 

What are Photoshop’s Edit > Color Settings?
