I've just started playing with CPG today and I noticed that images I upload seem to display much brighter than the ones I originally uploaded.
E.g, I have an image that I resized to 600pixels wide. If I upload it and display it with Coppermine, it is much brighter than if I display the original local file in a browser.
Thinking it might be a color-space issue, I made sure to set the JPG color space to sRGB, but that didn't help.
If I right-click on the image in Coppermine and save it and then display that in a browser, that image is also displayed much brighter.
Is some kind of processing done on images when they are uploaded, e.g, does Coppermine try to do any auto-levels, or something similar? If so, can I disable that?

post direct (deep) links to the files you're refering to.

Here is the IMG link from the HTML source:
<img src="albums/userpics/crw_0936_f6.3_640s_iso200.jpg" width="600" height="400" class="image" border="0" />
Is that what you were looking for?
Here is the original image that I just FTPed to the root of my website for comparison:

Interestingly, if I go straight to the Coppermine image via:
http://www.photosbyderek.com/gallery/albums/userpics/crw_0936_f6.3_640s_iso200.jpg
The image is displayed fine. Maybe something in the "IMG SRC" link is cause the image to be changed? The class?
Please disregard this....it turns out to be a browser caching issue. I had made the image darker and uploaded a new one (deleting the previous image), but when I reloaded the web page, IE displayed the original image.
Sorry for wasting your time......
No problem. Case closed.
