Color calibration issues

[ClickHouse]

Hello all, first post.

I have been using Paint.net for years and love it. However I think the lastest update has color calibration issues. I haven't determined whether is in the eyedropper tool or the color gets messed up when saving but it is always a few shades darker when I save the file. Anyone else experience this - it is just since the last update - maybe 2-3 weeks agol

Additional info would be valuable.

What filetype are you saving as?

Have you been able to verify the color shift

using a separate color picking program?

Hello Sarkut - thanks. I am saving as png.

What happens is I pick a color as I normally would, then save the results.

When I upload what I have saved the color is different from the one I saved it as.

Very strange

What browser do you use?

I use IE8

What website are you uploading it to and are you selecting any options to resize it?

[Sarkut]

These all read true for me using Firefox,

or Opera, or Google Chrome, or Safari,

or QtWeb.

Using IE8, many of the colors are off

as measured by Color Picker.

That'll happen with PNG, thanks to gamma "correction". Both IE and Safari will apply gamma "correction", but they're both different. Check out this article for more information:

Thanks all, I didn't realize the gamma correction issues introduced by different browsers. I am not sure why I hadn't noticed it prior to the most recent update but most likely I have been working with more png than jpg files lately.

Thanks again for your comments and replys ! I need to use IE8 as it is a corporate environment and we all use it
