Quick Look color profile problem

I shoot in RAW and JPG, and sometimes I use Quick Look to quickly check how my photos turned out. But ever since upgrading to High Sierra (10.13) I noticed something odd .


This is what one of my vacation photos looks like when pressing space bar to open it with Quick LookUser uploaded file

And this is what the same photo looks like when opening another photo with Quick Look, and then navigating to the photo above with the up / down keys:

You can see the bottom photo is a lot more washed out, but it does show more detail. Here is a gif that shows the difference:

I've tried the same steps on a Retina iMac running Sierra, and a Mac Mini running El Capitan. These always show the second (washed out) version.


I'm not a color geek, but to me it seems like a problem that has something to do with the photos being saved in sRGB by my camera (Canon EOS 700D).


Any idea how this can be fixed?


Also I'm wondering what's the "real" photo, what will this photo look like when I order it in an album?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), macOS High Sierra (10.13), null
