Hello everyone!

Something happened but I can't figure out what - please help!

I process the photo in Photoshop, unload it and when viewing it in any photo gallery program with a simple photo - this photo is more dynamic in color red and orange. What could it be?!?!

Thanks in advance

Please set the Status Bar to »Document Profile« and post meaningful screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible.

@photographer_0273  As @D Fosse wrote you need to be sure to embed the ICC profile in the document (the image) when saving from Photoshop. That way other applications know the provenance of the colour, the ICC profile gives the RGB numbers a reference to visual appearance. Without an ICC profile, the receiving application (if it uses ICC profiles) has to guess what profile to use. 

More about ICC profiles here.

 

I hope embedding the profile will solve your problem, please let us know.

 

I hope this helps

Make sure you always embed the color profile, and use a photo viwer that actually supports color management (not all do, but Windows Photos does).
