Hi My guess is tha you are saving as 16bit -right?
You notice this problem because the programs you are using are ignoring the ICC profile that is embedded in the image. To maintain the most information in your images we export 16 bit images with linear gamma. Applications that cannot read the ICC profile will usually just assume the data is 16 bit gamma 2.2 sRGB. For these apps use 8 bit sRGB images.
