Annoying Importing Problem!

Question

When after exporting a drawn png picture I try importing it back into PH it gets more saturated. Every basic viewing program on Windows opens it with original colors I made. Fun part begins when I drag the pic into PH. This process can repeat itself endlessly adding 2-5 % more brightness every time I import.

The # after RGB/8 in the document title bar indicates that the image is untagged (no color profile), and that's most likely the source of your problem.

Never work with untagged images. If you are creating these images using File > New, make sure to choose a color profile in the New dialog, like sRGB.

And when saving images, make sure that ICC profile is checked in the bottom right corner of the Save dialog.

For existing untagged files, assign the monitor profile (Edit > Assign profile), then convert to sRGB. (Edit > Convert to profile)

It depends on what your other programs have for color management. As the post above states - Windows oversaturates. Where are you creating the original drawing? If you are creating it in PS (Photoshop) first then exporting, why would you re-import the same png and not just open the original Photoshop file?
