C1 workspace and exported photos different colors and exposure!

Paul Chaftari

Hello

Since a while now, when I export a photo I edited in C1 to Windows it will have different colors and brightness when seen in any other platform like windows gallery or when exported in a browser.

I tried to save these photos in srgb and Adobe RGB, but still they are quite different than in C1

What is the solution to have the same results in C1 and exported photos?

    Brighter and greater contrast (?) seen outside of C1 often means
    the external viewer you are using is not using color management.

    Try installing a color managed viewer like Faststone (free):
    https://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm
    Color management (CMS) needs to be turned on in it's Settings.

    Thanks

    It looks like the culprit is the C1 workspace viewer, if I zoom to 100% the brightness of whites will decrease, it's the same issue I had with CA removal, if the photo is not at 100% it won't show the photo with the CA corrections

    Try turning OpenCL hardware acceleration off in C1 Preferences,
    Close C1, delete the ImageCore folder located at
    C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\CaptureOne\ImageCore
    and restart C1.
    If you still have the problem try Selecting a problem image and regenerate it's Preview via Menu - Image - Regenerate Previews.

    Also note that if your browser is Chrome (or chromium based) the colour management is not accurate; too warm. There's a setting flag to force Chrome to use an sRGB profile which improves things (for sRGB jpegs).

    Thanks

    I tried your given fix but there is still a big difference in saturation between the C1 workspace and even Fastone, whatever in srgb or Adobe RGB, there is still a discrepancy between saturation of C1 and the rest of the world.

    Perhaps something in the Export thing that I missed?

    Just checked, proof profile was set to Adobe RGB, I switched to srgb but it made no difference

    I tried to see the photo with windows Photos and well it showed the photo as it should ! Meaning like C1 :)

    Paul, you definitely have Color management (CMS) turned on in Faststone?

    Ok some further testing but still no solutions

    Windows 11 using my monitor (AD27QD) icc calibration from rting

    Capture 1 with my monitor (AD27QD) icc calibration from rting = good color saturation

    Firefox whatever the color management option I choose will always end up more saturated than C1 with the same photos

    Chrome using DCI P3 will be very close to C1 saturation but once reverted to default it will be more saturated

    Windows Photo is like Capture One
