Photo lighter in Photoshop than in other imaging software?


Recommended Posts

I have a photo that I played with briefly in PS. It looks great in PS,

but when I open it with other imaging software, like Microsoft Paint,

or some other imaging software, it looks way too dark. It's not my

imagination, I've compared the picture opened side-by-side. I can't

figure out what is going on. Any ideas?

Do a search on color profiles, and learn a little about profile-aware applications. The odds are simply that Photoshop is using a certain color profile for the document (e.g., AdobeRGB or sRGB), while some other applications are ignoring the profile and just sending the raw data to the display, which in turn may not be well set-up. Good luck.
