I finished up a drawing on my laptop on krita and emailed it to my phone to be able to post it to my social media. Once i did and checked my phone to make sure everything is alright, the photo was very yellow. Once i compared how it looks on my laptop to my phone, and even got another pair of eyes to look, i had no idea if it was my laptop or the software. Nobody knew how to fix it and i had to fix the image by adding filters. If anyone has any idea why or think it isnt Krita please let me know!
Edit: i just figured out it is krita form using another software and comparing it! If anyone knnows why krita is doing this please tell me!

Did you export/save as a .jpg or .png before you posted it to social media? Did you create your origial sketch in 8-bit colour using the standard colour profile? Can you post a full .png screenshot of your original image opened in krita? Can you provide the original .kra file via a download link and also the file you posted to social media? When you say you used another software and compared it, which software did you use and what did you do to compare them?

I've just sketched an image in krita and exported as a .jpg, then I opened the .jpg with GIMP and also with a standard image viewer (all on my dektop computer) and compared them by switching between them and there was no colour difference.

The only similar post I can recall was this one: viewtopic.php?f=139&t=152917

Should i open and save the image with gimp then to keep the colors from changing? And i have not tried saving it as a .jpg but as a .png i couldnt email it to myself.

I'm not saying you should use GIMP. I'm saying that using other applications (such as GIMP) to open an exported krita image showed no colour problems for me.

Which other software did you use and how did you come to the conclusion that it was a problem with krita? What did you do?

Can you post a screenshot of your image in krita and also your .png exported file? You can use Imgur.com or a similar service for that.

Can you provide a link to your krita image file using Dropbox or a similar service so that someone can download it and look at it to see what might be happening?

Give us a link to a dropbox or google drive or one drive to a zip file with your .kra file and your .png and .jpg files, then we can take a look. Maybe first check out the manual on color management to make sure you didn't use a linear rgb profile; https://docs.krita.org/en/general_conce ... gamma.html .

My sister creates illustrations on Krita. It is an excellent app for her passion. She encountered the same problem when trying to export the .png image to the computer. At that time, he used a dell. But after trying to do the same thing on a mac pro, things were different. The image came out of relatively high quality. So I think you need to have the latest and most powerful computer as the professional photographers have. They use the latest technologies to make their work beautiful. I remember talking to the photographer who took photos for our engagement. This one https://www.wanderlustportraits.com/eng ... r-orlando/ he told us what actually makes him so unique and why his pictures are so wow.

Sorry, no, that's not correct. The results you get when exporting an image from Krita depend on how you are handling color management, not on what kind of computer you use. Different displays will display the same image in a different way. See https://docs.krita.org/en/general_concepts/colors.html and ?highlight=saving web
