It's very simple.

Loading the same

  reference_picture.whatsoever_file_format

with Krita and other apps, it is viewed completely different by Krita,
than by any other app. I haven't done such a comparison in the first
place, since I never experienced such an issue with any other app.

I used Krita without being aware that Krita defaults to a broken colour
profile for the view. I noticed that, after exporting the artwork I've
done to a JPEG diverted that much from the original artwork, that it
never ever could be an issue related to the JPEG format. It still seemed
to be possible that it might be related to a broken export algorithm
used by Krita. Again I wasn't aware what was going on at that time,
since I try to migrate from Gimp to Krita.

I know how to do and export artwork with different software. I'm new to
Krita. I also don't have problems with "terms", I just tried to
describe the problem.

Comparing a reference picture using different apps wasn't my first
idea, right after the artwork was finished and exported. I did it after
taking a rest.

Internet research recommended viewing profiles that were way more
broken. Trial and error is very time-cosuming, since there are many
profiles available and it takes a few seconds to switch from one to the
other.

In the end I found a profile that seemingly isn't broken.
