I have version 1.3.0 adn when I upload an image or should I say certain images show up as Black and white images until you click on the actual image then it shows up in color. This is not happening to all images it just satarted happening. Click link to see http://www.riverviews.net/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=5&pos=15
They're not actually black&white, but with reduced colors. This effect comes from the webhost upgrading th GD version on your server.
Here's what you do
- log in as admin
- admin mode
- Admin tools
- phpinfo
- search the page for a GD section: it should read 2.x
- go to coppermine config
- For "Method for resizing images", select "GD version 2.x"
- "Save new configuration" - you now have set coppermine to use GD2
- Upload a new pic and check the thumbnail: it should have proper colors now
- To re-build your existing thumbnails and intermediate pics, go to admin tools, choose "Update thumbs and/or resized photos", select the album that has wrong thumbnails in them and submit. Repeat this for all albums that have "wrong" thumbnails
