The colors in the export window preview is different from the photoshop canvas.

Question

Hey everyone! I had to format my windows 11 and after installing Photoshop I came across this weird problem: The preview in the export (and also the exported image) has a different color than the file I'm working on, the preview is a bit less "vibrant". Both of them are in sRGB and doesn't matter what I do it keeps the same way.

It was not like that before reinstalling Windows.

Any suggestions?

That's a bug in Export color management that has gone unfixed for a long time.

The exported file is correct - it's only a misleading preview in the Export dialog. As long as you have "embed color profile" checked you'll be fine.

If it bothers you (it bothers me; on principle) - you can use Save For Web instead. Save For Web works much better and more reliably than Export. The whole Export module seems to have been abandoned completely.
