When saving out as sRGB, images saturate

Whenever I save an image out as an sRGB, it over saturates. What is the workaround for this?

1) embed the color profile, and 2) view it in a color managed application that will actually use the profile.

That's not even a workaround, but a proper solution.

Maybe your Photoshop and monitor is calibrated to display "real" colors but othes apps and monitors not?

What method are you using to save the file, save as, export as, or save for web? What is your working colorspace, or what colorspace does the file open in? Do you change the profile before saving it? If so you should use convert to profile, not assign profile. D Fosse is correct in telling you to embed the sRGB profile. Do you know how to do that?

Hi PetrosMAYK,

As the image is over saturated, could you please let us know what version of Photoshop you're working on and what operating system are you using?

Also, where are you viewing the image?

The issue could be occurring due to incorrect color calibration of the display.

Regards,

Sahil
