I have a single JPG file. If I open it with IrfanView, it is darker than the same file opened in PhotoShop (or in Firefox). What can cause this? The correct version is the one from Photoshop (or Firefox). I have also tried to open it manually with LibJPG-Turbo in C++ app, but the result is same as Irfan - dark.

Left: Irfan

Right: Firefox or Photoshop

From exif info tool, I have obtained also this:

The white point seems significantly different from what I have in other files, where values are around 1

  • \$\begingroup\$ What are the color management settings in Windows, Irfanview, and Photoshop? What does the image look like when opened with the default Windows viewer? Can you add the original JPG to the question? \$\endgroup\$
