Color Profile in Export

Hello Guys. Hope you're good! I just want to ask you between most compatible and original color profile, which of them represents better the colors of the first saved image in Photos App, before the image's export? I ask because I think that images in Photos App looking more saturated and the colors are more vibrant than those in the export. Moreover when I click to edit the image in the official Photo's app edit menu then the colors looking the same as the exported image's one. I try to understand why happens this and try every mode: unmodified original export / png / tiff but all the results were the same: the exported image had a bit milder colors than the original. Why happens this? Is it possible the image losing color in the export or it's just display issues and the app display in an even colorful way the colors? Should I change my color profile in the export menu?


In the following images I will give you examples of my situation. As you can see the colors in the app looks more saturated. Why this happens?

But when I click to edit the photo, the colors look exactly the same with my exported image. In the following images I zoomed in order to show you the equality. User uploaded file

Is this normal and do I concern for no reason? 🙂 Thanks in advance.

Ps: I’m using the original color profile from the export menu.

Personally I don't see any difference in the photos but my eyes are a few years older than yours, probably by a lot.


However, use preview to check the color profile of the original. On my test show it referred to it as just RGB. Most Compatible also gave just RGB. sRGB export also gave only RGB in Preview. Those are pretty much the same. You can compare color profiles with Color Sync app.


Using a professional DAM (digital asset management app) Media Pro SE, all three were shown as sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
