Hey there, this is my first piece on Krita, when I finished it and exported it the colors were really messed up. It's missing the dark and the brushes seem to be completely opaque? I'm not quite sure why it's done this. I've tried exporting it as different types of images (png, jpeg, etc) but I still have the same problem. I played with the export options a bit to see if that would fix it, but nada.

Here's what I'm supposed to have, http://imgur.com/qPEJ9So

And here's what I get, http://imgur.com/pa99gXJ

Any help?

It's probably the same issue at this topic: viewtopic.php?f=139&t=133817

My image is at RBG, 8 bits, and the default color spacing/profile. Does the image and export have seperate changable settings?

I need to see the status bar and preferably your export setting to figure out what is going on. Krita shouldn't clip dark values.

Update: Even when taking a screenshot of the un-exported image and uploading it to GIMP then cropping and exporting it through that it STILL has that issue. Does my painting's color pallet have colors that are hard for image exporting programs to interpret through RBG/color spacing or whatever? I'm very confused.

If even making a screenshot gives the same issue, I am suspecting that imgur just hates your image. Does it happen with any other upload mechanism? Can you see the image properly with the file explorer? Does it look the same under chrome and firefox(or any other browser)?

Image has the issue even when viewing with both Windows image viewers, on Facebook, and Twitter. Those are all the mediums I've tried. The thumbnail FOR the picture looks fine, IE when you're looking at it in a file before you double click/view it.

There must be something really strange going on. I can also see dithering on those images, despite 'save as indexed' not being on, and you saving as PNG. And if even screenshotting gives the same issue, it can't be a Krita specific thing...

I guess the best thing you could try to do is save it in an alternate format, like tiff, or jpeg, and then open that up in gimp and see if saving that out works??? I am still not sure why it would clip dark values though. I have never seen something like this...

It's very odd. I uploaded the PNG to FB on Internet Explorer (haven't touched that thing in years) and IE showed an image that was a tad closer to the actual, but still with some serious bitrate and RBG/color spacing issues. I've tried .jpeg before and just tried .tiff, both having the issue (though slightly different shading between tiff/jpeg and png).

I may do a full write-up of this issue with everything I know thus far and plenty of images later. Krita is a great program and I want to find a solution for this problem. Thanks for lending me your time!

I downloaded the image from imgur link above (the actual image, not screenshoted one), then I stripped the ICC profile and reuploaded to imgur:

Does that look correct to you?

Imagemagick reports the original image as having this ICC profile:

Code: Select all

  Profiles:
    Profile-icc: 592 bytes
      Description: sRGB built-in
      Manufacturer: sRGB built-in
      Model: sRGB built-in

Yes, actually! Almost 1:1. Why does the profile say it's sRGB built-in when I have it set to sRBG-elle-V2-srgbtrc.icc (default) on Krita though?

Probably need to tick "Embed sRGB profile" when exporting the PNG.

Unfortunately didn't work
Thanks for the advice though!

Can you share the original .kra file with us (through dropbox or something)?
