Apple photos displaying edits in image incorrectly

When editing images in apple photos, the image looks normal in the edit suite, but in the viewing album the image shifts into deep saturation and red, see images below. When I open it back up in the edit view, it switches back to how it was edited. How can I stop this?

Apple Photos is exporting washed out images I've been using Photos for many years and this is a new issue. I've restarted and the issue remains. When I export images, both PNG and JPG, the image is very washed out and doesn't look like the image in Photos. These are images that I made edits too (saturation, color, etc.). When I export an Unmodified original the image is not washed out. I've shared images. The first one is a screen grab of the edited image in Photos. The second photo is the exported photo. You can see how washed out the second photo is. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks!

Photos app enhances images while exports are dull I took a photo at night of a light-up pool float. When viewed in the Photos app on my Macbook Pro or iPhone, the image looks crisp and vibrant. When I export or drag it to a folder and then view it with Preview, the image looks dull or washed out. I've even tried viewing it from an image editor and it still looks dull. However, if I reimport the dull exported photo into the Photos app, it looks as good as the original vibrant image. The Photos app is performing some sort of viewing enhancement which is being lost on export. Maybe this is normal and the Photos app uses an exclusive color profile for displaying images, but you would think photos viewed in different apps on the same device would look the same, no?

When I go an edit a photo in the Apple Photos app after clicking done the photo and the thumbnail get grayed out. I am running Version 6 of Photos under BigSur Version 11.6. Tried all the fixes mentioned/no luck Every time I edit a photo in the Photos app the thumbnail and photo get grayed out. I have tried all the recommended fixes, including rebuilding the file but nothing seems to alleviate the issue. If I go and edit the grayed out photo it appears, I do a minor edit and then I do a "Show In All Photos" it comes back eliminating the grayed out issue. I am running Version 6 of Photos under BigSur Version 11.6. Any ideas on how to eliminate the greying out?
