I have dragged several photos in Photoshop and I have noticed that the skin tone changes color. That is, the skins seem a little more tanned. Is there a way to prevent the skin tones from changing?
I'm talking about all kinds of images. From photos downloaded to the computer to photos taken with the phone.
Do I have to configure something?
Yep, as D. Fosse wrote, you may have a lack of embedded ICC profiles. If so, you'll need to "assign profile" in Photoshop[perhaps sRGB if it’s a phone image or one taken from the internet - then be sure to check "embed" profile on saving. ]
ICC profiles are used to communicate the intended (visually referenced) colour meaning of the RGB pixel values.
It's worth mentioning that Photoshop, used with a decent display [which has been calibrated and has an accurate ICC profile] is the industry standard ACCURATE way to view images.
Dragging from other applications (such as the almost entirely non-colour managed *Windows Photos) will almost inevitably change image appearance.
* later versions of Windows Photos did get colourmanagement
Think of Photoshop as the reference for appearance.
I hope this helps
