Saving a TIFF changes colors

I hope someone can help out because I'm driving myself crazy here. I have tried to save an image as a TIFF and each time the blues turn a shade of purple.

I'm hoping this is just a setting or something I have missed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

God I hate those nested replies. That ended up in a totally wrong place. Sigh...

and ... in what app are you viewing and checking the colours. The answer should be "Photoshop again", nothing else is reliable...

Thank you so much. I'm definitely going to address this asap. Unfortunately it's the Windows photo viewer.

Thank you again. I will defintely stick with Photoshop only. 🙂

What is the color space of the original, and what is the color space of the saved file? (not "RGB", but sRGB, Adobe RGB or ProPhoto).

Are you embedding the color profile when you're saving?

Have you changed anything at all in Photoshop's Color Settings?

Yes, obviously. I somehow hit "post" before I got to that. Applications that don't support color management, like e.g. Windows "Photos", do not display correctly. That doesn't mean the file has "changed", just that it's not displayed correctly by that application.

Thank you so much for the reply. Sorry mine is a bit late.

Actually I am looking at the image in Windows Photos once I saved it to my desktop. That is something I will definitley look into.

Still trying to learn about Photoshop, I'm attempting to work in the Pro Photo color space while exporting in sRGB (currently anway, I do have an image I would like to print and it looks like most people suggest exporting as a TIFF and Adobe RGB).

When I went into Photoshop it did ask if I wanted to stay with my embeded color profile, but when I "saved as" I didn't see an option for a color space.

With Windows Photos being my defult viewer, would you suggest I just print a small sample print based off what I am seeing in Photoshop?

Thank you again for your help.
