RGB color change when exporting layers as files

Question

Hello there, I noticed today, that when I use "export layers as files" in PS, then the RGB value of the exported images is different. I have a single color object, of RGB values 73, 93, 102. After exporting the object color is slightly different - RGB 61,93,103.

In the "export as layers" box, there is not many settings, only if I wish to embed an ICC profile, but the result is the same no matter if I click this option on or off.

When I export the layers one by one manually - then there is no change in color.

Any idea why is this happening? I really use these export layers as files a lot for my work, it saves a ton of time..

Thank you..

Thank you for your comment! Yes, Layers to Files (my PS is not in English so sorry for the bad translation).

I just did some more digging and experimenting with exports and I think found a mistake I made - I did not check the color profile when making a new file, and I really did believe that I had set my color profiles as a default for all documents. So the files were converted from and to sRGB etc. This color management is just so tricky.

I need some good tutorials on this subject 🙂

Do you mean File > Export > Layers to Files? What file format and settings do you use?  Can you post screenshots or provide the files?
