Images are faded in playback and in export

I have edited photos to have good contrast, however, when I put the images into the timeline they become faded. I already went to Preferences>General and clicked on Display Color Management (requires GPU Acceleration), but that only changes the display and what I'm looking at, not the actual video file. I didn't change any settings and the previous project I did with images (almost exactly like the one I'm working on) and it didn't have this issue. No fading whatsoever. I also already reset the settings. Help needed!

You can see in the photo the originals and how it shows the faded version in the timeline. It's not a huge fade, but it's enough to not work for what I need.

Error or problem

Maybe Neil will be around shortly. If you turn off the color managament you turned on, is the color in monitor more or less similar to what you are exporting?

The color in the monitor is the exact same as what is being exported. So it is faded as well if I turned off the Display Color Management (requires GPU Acceleration) option.

In the playback meaning...? Are you bringing it back into PP and looking at it there? Comparing the source monitor and program monitor?

Yes, comparing it in the source and program monitor. The program monitor shows it faded after I move the image from the project into the timeline. I did go to Preferences>General and clicked on Display Color Management (requires GPU Acceleration), but that only changes the program monitor and what I'm looking at, not the actual video file after I've exported it.
