Applies to	ArcGIS for Desktop
Version found	10.5
Operating System	Windows OS
Operating System Version	10.0 64 Bit
Status	Will Not Be Addressed

Additional Information

This is to be expected: The RGB Composite renderer uses statistics to apply the stretch. When a raster dataset is displayed with statistics, they will be used. If the raster datasets do not have statistics, then they will be sampled, but only for the purpose of displaying. In this case, when a screenshot image is added, gamma correction and stretch is being applied. This is the reason why it looks different from when viewing the screenshot image in the Windows viewer (outside of ArcMap). If you do not want any correction to be applied to the image, you will need to use no stretch and no gamma (as mentioned in the workaround section).

Workaround

1. Right-click the screenshot picture layer > Properties.2. Click the Symbology tab.3. Set the Stretch type as 'None' and uncheck the 'Apply Gamma Stretch' check box.4. Click Apply.5. Click OK. The color is same now.Note: This happens for a certain screenshot only.
