Image too bright

[cynarmstrong76]

Hi I just download an image #68588217 Redwood Forest Road, the image is way too brighter than the original. It is not right, I am after the original one, is there a way to get the right one like shown here #68588217 stock photos and royalty-free images, vectors and illustrations | Adobe Stock

I downloaded full resolution image and opened it using both Photoshop and Windows Photos and couldn't tell the full image is any brighter.  Could there be any specific setting on your application used to open this file?

Thank you,

Hello Joons,

I deleted and tried downloading again, came out brighter again. Because when I download Preview app automatically pops up (MacBook Pro app), so I did what you did, opened in Photoshop and presto its the same as the original that I wanted. Don't know why I didn't open up in Photoshop first before I asked here. Its the Preview that makes the image look brighter, thank you so much
