SUMMARY

Exporting photos can lead to noticeable color shifts because editing software and the platforms where images are viewed often use different color profiles. For instance, editing software might use a wider color space like Adobe RGB, while web browsers typically display images using the sRGB color space. This discrepancy can cause colors to appear desaturated or altered. To maintain color accuracy, it's important to understand color management principles, including assigning the correct color profile during export and ensuring consistency across devices.
