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?

Hi, zoom to 100% and add a curves adjustment layer so that it looks as wanted. You could also duplicate the layer and play with a blend mode like overlay. With noise, the only zoom ratio you can trust is 100%

You can also open a new window in the window > arrange>new window for document and the en window>arrange>2up vertical and set one of them am to 100% (Ctrl+1)

 -you can also double click on the hand and zoom tool icons to switch between fit an 100%
