What colourspace do you assign in PS? Is your other viewer colourspace compliant?

 

What are your export settings in PS?

To convert the colourspace to sRGB, click Edit and then Convert to profile...

Make sure that the Target colourspace (Målfärgrymd in my screen dump) is set to sRGB.

 

Any software that doesn't use the colourspace correctly assumes that files are in sRGB. If they aren't, things will look strange.

 

 

If you use Save as..., the settings screen should look something like this.

Make sure that you have save as a copy and embed colour profile selected, so that you don't overwrite any existing jpg and really get the sRGB space in the file.

 

If you choose to use the Export option, you will get to resize your photo for web use as a copy.

This way, you can convert to sRGB with one click as well as make the output web-sized without stripping all EXIF and IPTC like Save for web does.

I am still getting same results but they are looking better, but is it maybe because that files i am looking in PS are RAW files, and the files that are saved on desktop are JPEG, maybe because is that?

I know that RAW look much better than JPEG, but is there a way to save them similarly as RAW in any way?

Jpeg is a lossy compressed 8-bit format. Nef is 12 or 14-bit, either lossless compressed or not compressed at all, depending on the settings in your camera. To preserve the full information, 16-bit TIFF is the best archival format.

For the web, jpeg and possibly png are what we have to use :(. The social media sites don't mangle photos as badly if they are uploaded in a screen size rather than a higher resolution.
