Image looks terrible after photoshop without any changes made!?

Hi all,

So I've been trying to do some basic editing on some photos for work, they're relatively low quality to begin with but once they're exported from Photoshop regardless of whatever changes I did or didn't make they come out extremely dark and over saturated, I cant for the life of me figure out what it could be!

Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Where are you viewing them after export? Windows photo Viewer by any chance?

I had same issue viewing them after editing them in both Lightroom and Photoshop.
Very dark and contrast in windows viewer.

Only happened after I calibrated with X1, was using a spyder but have a 3 screen set up and colours were all over the place on the 3 of them.

Used the X1 and they 3 are perfect.

See below, do you have your screen calibrated?

So many variables. Can you post a before and after example?

Input format? Output format?

Colour space would be another thing to check.
