photoshop jpeg colors different from windows10 photo app

Hi,

 

I have a AdobeRGB pictures from my Sony A6300 in jpeg Format. When I visually compare (same monitor) this jpeg with the standard windows 10 photo viewer and photoshop the colors are slightly different (the standard windows 10 photo viewer is a bit more saturated). I opened that file with the embedded color profile (AdobeRGB 1998) and Colorproof ist OFF. I also tried to switch the photoshop color profiles but no profile looks the same than the windows 10 photo viewer.

For referenz I opened that picture in Gimp (again with the embedded AdobeRBG profile). In gimp it looks the same than the windows photo viewer.

 

Why is photoshop showing different colors?

 

Greetings

Hi,

I have a same problem. Open JPG with windows photos application or using a JPG picture as a desktop image has a different saturation. That is ok. But how can I process a picture in Photoshop or Lightroom to looks correct in windows photos or at the windows background? Do I have to set picture undersaturated at PS? Thank you for your advice. (I have tested the sRGB & adobe profiles also. But did not help)

its been well explained here in this thread.

Photoshop uses colour management properly and can show you image content accurately 

An application without colour management cannot give you accurate colour, if it ever does it’s a coincidence.

Windows Photos is no use for serious image viewing because of that

Working with programs without colour management capability and saving files for viewing handheld devices, the best you can do is

1: be sure your computer display is accurate, ideally by using a sensor such as X-Rite i1 Display Pro to calibrate and profile it. Now Photoshop will show you exactly the visual content of your images.

2: convert your image files to sRGB when saving for non colour managed apps (like Windows Photos) or for handheld devices and make a rule to save with the ICC profile embedded.

That’s about all you can do, I'm afraid.

Most computer screens are, by default close to sRGB (but its not going to be exact).

Phones etc are said to moving towards some level of colour management and the use of the P3 icc profile / colour space, but its not yet become widespread. 

I hope this helps

if so, please "like" my reply and if you're OK now, please mark it as "correct", so that others who have similar issues can see the solution

thanks

Hi!

I have the exactly same problem on 2 notebooks, ASUS N53 and new Xiaomi. The image difference is extra on Xiaomi! And not found the solution for now  

Photoshop is a color managed application and understands the Adobe RGB color space. Most computer applications are not color managed and misinterpret colors that come from color spaces other than the bog standard sRGB space. Adobe RGB is a bigger space than sRGB but they are quite close. You would find if you were using ProPhoto RGB then color shifts in the Windows PhotoViewer would be even more noticeable. If you want your images to look in other applications the way they do in Photoshop it's fine to use Adobe RGB in Photoshop or Lightroom, but you must export the image not just save it and select 'convert to sRGB' and 'embed profile'. The image will then look exactly the same inside or outside Photoshop, even if you open the exported image in Photoshop again it will look the same as the original even though the color profile is different.
