C4D redshift / stills saved desaturated

[battle-kid]

Hey guys. I'm saving stills from Cinema 4D Redshift 2026. I love the colors in the Picture Viewer, but when I save them (TGA or PNG) they are less saturated or a little hazy. I've attached a side-by-side comparison. The image on left is a screenshot from the Picture Viewer Thx for the help!

Hi battle-kid,

Can you share more than an image? Perhaps the Project file.

There are various color settings, and I have no idea what your setup is, in Cinema4D or in the app you used to compare.
What image setting is on the left, what colorspace, etc?
Where is the comparison done, in Cinema 4D or in Photoshop?
Are the right colorspaces applied? From the image shared, the first idea was a wrong gamma, but the saturation doesn't add up when gamma is explored alone.

I hesitate to just answer from memory, and give just a "Tonemapping", etc., answer, as that doesn't help you. I need to explore it, as I can't reproduce this here.
I don't use PNG or TGA in production, for various reasons.

If the scene file is below 1MB, it can be attached here as a C4D file. If larger, please upload an uncompressed file to either Dropbox, WeTransfer, Google, Adobe, or Apple cloud services. Please paste the full URL as is in the text. Sorry for the long instructions, but safety first. Thanks!

All the best
