ACES in After Effects outputs slightly washed out images

Community Beginner ,

Hey there,

Im using AE with native ACES support for the first time and when I ouput to an sRGB image or a rec709 the file that AE creates outside of AE looks very close to what i see in AE but it seems slightly washed out. However, if i reimport that image into AE and interpret the footage to sRGB, it looks perfect (which it should) but if i open that same image in Photosop or Preview it looks incorrect. This is super frustrating. Why do all the color correcting if you have to fix it? Thoughts?

Thanks.
