After uploading the picture, the normal_ and thumb_ files are created using funny colors. Some with a blue hue and othes with looking like negatives. This has always worked, nothings changed, so what gives? Could the size of the images have something to do with it? Most of these new files that Im uploading are almost 1MB. Any ideas would be appreciated. ::)
Are you using GD1? If so, your host may have upgraded to GD2.
Sorry if this is a rudementary question, but how can I tell if I'm using GD1?
???

Ok, phpinfo() has shown that my hosts GD version is: 2.0 or higher.
I can't find anything in the documentation or FAQs that tell me what should I do in this instance?
Do I need to recompile?
check coppermine config - there has to be the same GD version your server has (GD2 in your case) specified for "Method for resizing images". If you have "GD1" there, set it to GD2. You have to understand that this won't affect your existing thumbnails, but only those you create fromm scratch. If new thumbs are being created correctly after modifying the GD settings in coppermine config, you can rebuild your "broken" thumbs with the admin tools (resize utility from the admin menu).

;D GauGau- I just wanted to say thank you. Changing that setting to GD2 did the trick!!
