Hi. My first post, so thanks for very great value for money software 🙂

I have an issue when saving jpegs, they get a little darker after exported with affinity.

Example:

A grayscale gradient image:

The same image after opening in Affinity and exporting as jpeg:

IMG1_AffinitySaved.jpg.18d7a35bf6b6362b12d2820f03e0ead9.jpg

 

Both images side by side in WIN10 photo viewer:

The Affinity saved one appears much darker.

The jpeg export settings:

The affinity screen:

I use Affinity to put my signature on astrofotos, and find I loose a lot of details after they have been into Affinity.  

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Windows preview app does not support color profiles correctly. The file uses GREY/8. if you want to see it correctly with those app, export with sRGB profile.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.
