Color Issue (generated thumbnails are lighter, blown out)
I posted the problem awhile ago. Following this, here’s the report:
- Images are uploaded with and without color profiles in either the sRGB or Adobe RGB (1998) color spaces
- Thumbnails are blown out: lighter, little-to-no contrast. Basically, a light image turns white.
I think it’s something with my server and a textpattern setting, which is being upgraded soon, but here is the phpinfo()

DId you double check your Photoshop (or image editing) settings? Often I find that “save for web” settings in PS will reduce the contrast in a photo. Just checkin :)

Yeah, they seem to be right (no embedded profile, sRGB for most). I’ve generated thumbnails on localhost and Wet created one on his server, and both turned out normal.
I use Photoshop and GIMP for most photos, and Fireworks for screenshots.

Re: Color Issue (generated thumbnails are lighter, blown out)
I uploaded both of those files to my server using Textpattern 4.0.3. Generated thumbs look fine, which suggests there’s nothing wrong with the full size jpeg files. My GD version is “bundled (2.0.28 compatible)”. Your server has 2.0.12, which dates from April 2003.
First step would be to update to a newer GD version. An updated PHP version will probably be bundled with a newer GD library – PHP 4.3.2 is very old.
PS, thanks for the clear bug report.

Thanks,
My host just moved me to a newer, faster server. It’s running PHP 4.42, GD 2.0.28, and MySQL 4.1.19, so, hopefully the issue will be resolved (and my site’ll be faster). Just have to wait for DNS…

It’s resolved! I just redid the thumbnails and all of them came out fine. I made up a new screenshot too, since the thumbs are fixed, just in case anyone else has this problem.
