If I export a certain file to jpeg, and then open it with the Windows 10 photo app, it looks right, but a second later it looks wrong. If I open the same jpeg in Edge or Firefox, it still looks wrong, although in a different way. It looks very different from what I see in AP.745620419_Screenshot2021-08-14121858.thumb.png.5dba8242c9d4b03de688169936901455.png2146286085_Screenshot2021-08-14121921.thumb.png.9f09e7b7c3a558b9ef488710ed577b8f.png2075940235_Screenshot2021-08-14121954.thumb.png.384c3ea91f7ad4f6ebe09f8e6354d940.png

The Windows Photos application apparently does not like CMYK files.

I'm not sure to what Edge or Firefox support them, either, though they're clearly better than Photos. sRGB is the standard for images used on the Web.

Hey PinkLouie,

I think this is because Windows Photos isn't colour managed. However, Windows Photo Viewer is and should display the exported image correctly.

I'm not sure if you have Windows Photo Viewer, didn't Photos try and supersede it? 

Is there a reason you're editing in CMYK? Unless it's for layout/type I'd stick with RGB.
