Lasse Edsvik Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) I have a weird problem... Images turning pale/colder after you save screenshot... Image/screenshot look great in Paint.NET/Gimp. But after I save it to jpg (full quality), or png 32-bit, or .tiff.... Colors are slightly more blue and colder.... Why is that happening? I tried doing the same with GIMP and same result... Something is wrong.... I worry its some global setting.... Haaalp! EDIT: It's usually a screenshot pasted into Paint.NET so it has no alpha channel or things like that added to it Edited August 2, 2022 by Lasse Edsvik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you getting the screen shot from another program, before you open it in paint.net? Usually saving to .png is better than .jpg, but if you say even that is not working, I suspect the other program(s) - or your computer, may be the problem. Also, be sure when saving, make sure your bit depth is set to "auto detect".

Solution Lasse Edsvik Posted August 2, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted August 2, 2022 I think I solved it. I removed my icc profile. Weird since it was from a highly recommended site: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/msi/optix-mag274qrf-qd They say like "don't use these every monitor is unique even if its the same model"....... I call BS on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roly Poly Goblinoli Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 color profiles that aren't the unedited sRGB colorspace is a thing that appeals to gamers and office professionals, etc. You never want to be working on an image with a filtered color profile because it will be off-color to everyone else. Working in linear sRGB is the standard. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasse Edsvik Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Ty Ninth! Ye color calibration and such things are complicated matters. But as you can imagine its frustrating when you can't even take a simple screenshot and show people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
