I finally fixed my color shift problem after 3 weeks of fighting it

My gallery uploads kept looking washed out compared to my monitor, turns out my export profile was set to sRGB while I was proofing in Display P3 the whole time. Anyone else burn days on color management only to find it was a settings mismatch instead of their gear?

That "settings mismatch instead of gear" bit hits close to home. I spent two whole weekends swapping monitors and cables because my prints kept coming out dark and muddy. Turns out my editing software had a hidden color profile override and my monitor was calibrated for a completely different gamma. Once I matched everything up and made a test print, it was like a light switch. Now I keep a checklist every time I start a new project, just so I don't waste another minute on that same headache.
