Why does it dim
So I'm getting back into graphic design and I'm a little frustrated because my ideas are coming together.
The first image is the actual project in the PSD file and the second picture is the exported file, no matter what type of file (pdf, jpeg, ai, and etc) it always comes out dim and not the actual visuals that I've been working on.
Now I do noticed is when I zoom in the in on the photo in my PSD file (first photo) it looks exactly like it does in the JPEG (second photo) so the JPEG photo is in 100% zoom while my PSD file is 25%.
I want my JPEG photo that has the 100% zoom in (second photo) to look exactly like it does when its 25% zoomed out.
Summary the first photo is what I want exactly, the second photo is the project exported but changes its tone to something that isn't what it was in the first photo
How do I fix this?

Because of grainy image, two things come to mind. 1) The zoom level is changing or 2) image format compression does their tricks.
So look at the original PSD image and exported image (maybe JPG or whatever you used) as 100% zoom level and if both look the same, it is about zooming out. If the PSD-file looks OK, but the JPG-image doesn't, it is about compression and you should change the image format or some little editing tricks.
Or the whole problem is somewhere else.
