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

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".

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.

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 :(
