Image colors different after saving with correct color profile

Question

Hey guys, common problem here.

When I save my Photoshop file as a png or jpg it's getting overly saturated and is losing brightness. I already converted to SRBG and assigned it as a color profile, though it doesn't change.

When I open the image in InDesign, Illustrator or Chrome it looks fine, but in other apps like the Photos or on my phone it doesn't look right.

I'm using Windows 10 and the source files are usually uncompressed Sony RAW-Files. The Camera is also set du SRBG.

Also when I'm taking a screen grab with Snipping-Tool, everything looks right in Photos or on my phone, so there must be an issue with Bit-Depth, Color Profile or anything like that..

Thanks a lot for your help!

All these applications, except the Photos app, are color managed, and use the monitor profile to display images correctly.The Photos app, as well as phones, are not color managed, and can not be expected to display correctly.The over saturation you're seeing is typical for applications without color management on a wide gamut monitor.With this kind of monitor, you have to use only color managed applications to view your work.The Windows Photo Viewer is color managed, but is hidden on Windows 10, do a search for it.The FastStone image viewer (free for home use) is a good alternative.
