n0stal6ic Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Whenever I put this image into paint .net it always seems to be less vibrant and more washed out in paint than in anything else I view it in. I think this may have something to do with it's metadata because it was exported in lightroom to the .png format, but I have tried converting it to no luck.

n0stal6ic Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 Nvm, im prety sure this image was exported as something higher than sRGB so it looks different. I re-exported it as sRGB in lightroom for it to be just as vibrant again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 👍 Glad you got it sorted. Welcome to the forum For others reading this, another couple of ways to 'enchance' colors: Duplicate the layer and set the blend mode of the new layer to Multiply (you may need to adjust the Opacity of the layer too). Adjustments > Hue / Saturation. Tweak the Saturation up a few points & take the Lightness down a similar amount. ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinthDesertDude Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 the colorspace information is probably in the metadata if it's not sRGB, so could this have been a bug in paint.net for a less-used format? It might be useful to know for sure. And know what the format was to see if: - that format is supported by paint.net - the issue reproduces with that format because in that case this could be a useful repro we can't usually see. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Paint.NET will read color space/context/profile metadata and will preserve it when you save, but otherwise does nothing with it. There's no bug, but it may not behave as you expect. Some day PDN may become color profile aware, but that requires a lot of stuff to be added/changed and it's not a priority at this time.

AaronB Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 The problem I get is that I load a png with no cHRM or iCCP chunks, but when I save it these chunks have been magicked from somewhere, so the image now appears washed out in software that takes heed of this information (such as Window Explorer). The original image looks correct everywhere. I'm having to work around this by removing the chunks with a script... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
