Exported images look different in different browsers and screens etc.

What is best practice for exporting images so that they don't look so different from the GIMP view I see before exporting the image?  Usually stick to PNGs and JPGs for exporting.  I have to export equal to or below 80MB and I think less than 200 Megapixels.

Probably a color managed display issue. Some Browsers / Image viewers and Gimp can / might-not support color management.

This Devientart page in a chromium  based browser (with color management) compared to Gimp with color management off.

   

You can see a difference in some colors, typically blues and greens, red is duller as well.

For Gimp see:  https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-imagi...ement.html  You can toggle color management on/off per image using Image -> Color Management -> Enable Color Management

A bit on the old side, a browser check https://cameratico.com/tools/web-browser...ment-test/  , also local monitor settings particularly screen brightness can effect as well.

If you are exporting for web display, stick with a sRGB profile, but there is nothing you can do about other peoples web brower / image viewer / monitor setup.

@rich2005 Thanks! This is what I was looking for :-)
