Vibrancy of Raw Preview in C1 vs. TIFF or JPG Output

I must ask.

As I use the C1 3.6 Software to process my Canon 10D RAW images, I notice the vibrancy (or perhaps saturation) of the previewed images is incredible. When I output the images to TIFF or JPG the image output is dull or lack-lustre compared to the C1 preview.

So what I think I am getting in C1 is far from what I get on my output.

Is this the nature of the beast? Am I doing something wrong? I find myself bringing up the saturation levels in C1 so that my output is similar to what the default preview was in C1.

Please advise. I am inserting a link of a JPG file. If you look closely half of the face to the right is the C1 screen shot overlayed on the output image. You can clearly see the difference. By the way it doesn't matter if I do a JPG or TIFF (8 or 16 bit) it is still the same result.

What comes most close is that you have probably not colour managment turned on in software (icon in tool bar) or that you have a monitor profile missmatch, Workflow -> Show colour managment setting, make sure that Capture One is using system monitor profile which PhotoShop does.

It was a definite color profile issue. All is fine now.

Interesting. I have a similar issue, except that in Phase One it's punchy and in Photoshop CS it's also punchy, but when viewed by any other app (for instance, Picasa2), it looks comparatively muted.

Is this perhaps the same issue, or rooted in the fact that I'm saving them with an Adobe RGB profile (and Photoshop is set to use this as well)?

Just wondering. Incidentally, I am using the same profile as Windows has the monitor set to and do have color management enabled in C1.
