Just to be absolutely clear on this - the problem here is that the file is in ProPhoto RGB.

Windows "Photos" is not color managed and cannot represent a ProPhoto file correctly. Nor will any other application without color management.

Convert to sRGB. That is the correct answer to your question (which is a very common beginner's mistake, BTW).

In Photoshop, go to Edit > Convert to Profile > sRGB IEC61966-2.1.

If you are Using "Export As" or "Save For Web", just check the Convert to sRGB box.

Please show two screenshots, before and after flattening - both at 100% zoom

Thank you so much Dave for still being with me.

In 100% View, it's remaining the same... But in output like JEG, the color shed getting darker.

Hi

Please keep all screenshots to 100% zoom.

At 100% each image pixel is mapped to a screen pixel. At lower zoom levels, several image pixels are combined to form a screen pixel. Your screenshots show 25% in which 16 image pixels are combined to form a single screen pixel for preview. In the case of the multi layer image then that is done before blending the layers. In the case of the flattened image, that combination is done after blending. So the results display differently.

 

If I am missing your point , then please use screenshots to demonstrate but please keep them all at 100% zoom.

 

Dave

For decent universality you need to save out images in sRGB.

You may like to make a copy and archive the original in it's original colour space.

Then flatten the copy and convert  to sRGB.

Save with the ICC profile embedded. 

 

This can't "fix" image appearance for non colour managed viewing applications, but since sRGB is a reasonably widespread screen characteristic using sRGB should help.

Users of Wide gamut screens (e.g. claiming 98% Adobe RGB, or perhaps P3) MUST use colour managed software for viewing. 

 

I hope this helps
