Spouse's MacBook air 2018 retina. I have adjusted all display settings to P3. brightness adjust bar is not the issue. computer is bright as normal on all except pix in library. editing individual pix yes not resolve. have restarted several times. and check all that I know how to check. Can anyone advise?
When you save a photo from Photos to the Desktop with "File > Export > Export unmodified Original" and then open the exported photo in Preview, is the photo still too dark?
Are the photos RAW photos ? Or JPEGs or HEIC?

Hi
It might be worth restarting your mac in safe mode, and then having a look at the pictures.
Are you sure, that Display P3 is the best for a Retina display? I am getting the best results on my Retina Mac with the factory preset Colour-LCD.
Is her Mac set to use Nigh Shift? Or to adapt the brightness automatically?
Thanks for your prompt response and your interest. Yes, when exported same level of light/dark. All pix are Jpeg taken with various iPhones, download from various digital cameras or scanned at 300-600 dpi over the years on several moderate quality scanners. ICloun has been in use for several years now.
Previously on this same MB air, there was no issue with sharpness or light/dark. the device this occurred on is a 2018 MB air running 12.2.1 Looking at identical photo from Library on my own mac mini/lg monitor and my iapd pro, images are sharp and light balanced.
THX... used color LCD but no difference. Curiously, same Photos Library on her iPhone 12 Pro are just fine. I am stumped.
Air seems to run a tad sow, but could be perception as I usually use my Mac Mini M1. Will run first aid on Air again. Next step diagnostics at nearby Apple Store? Thinking about trading in this 2018 Air for a M1 Air.
Thanks, but not difference after that. Will keep researching
Photos suddenly all darker than normal
