Hi, My images are processed by PS CC2015 and saved as jpgs. When added to PhotoAlbum in RW 6.3.3 they become darker - enough to make me want to make a lighter version just for RW (but that’s something I don’t want to have to go through). Suggestions please. ---

Have you made sure that Photoshop saves your images in sRGB format? If not, you may want to assign the sRGB format before exporting. ---

1 - Which **Color Settings** do you have in Photoshop? I hope not “Monitor”. [http://www.computer-darkroom.com/ps13\_colour/ps13\_1.htm](http://www.computer-darkroom.com/ps13_colour/ps13_1.htm) > **[Sync Photoshop's Color Settings With All Creative Cloud Apps](https://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/sync-photoshops-color-settings-creative-cloud-apps/)** > > Learn how to quickly sync your custom Photoshop color settings with the entire Adobe Creative Suite or Creative Cloud for consistent color management. 2 - Which quality setting do you have in _Photo Album_? BEST keep the pictures untouched, the other settings (High, Medium and Low) unfortunately can change the colors, in a very obvious way if you work with a wide-gamut monitor. 3- Rovertek is right: save as sRGB with embedded profile. ---

Thanks Rovertek and Trystero for your suggestions. Both relevant. Decided to use Flickr Gallery stack which works OK. Cheers
