Why do my pics look like negatives?!

[gloriousglenn]

This seems to happen not only to me but to members of my site also.

When I upload photos everthing seems to go OK but then when I look at them the colour has either gone or it almost looks like a negative (see http://rafmovs.com/photogallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=3)
However, when you click onto the photo to see the full image it seesm completely fine.

Any ideas?

Cheers

The thumb-nail and the intermediate file, - the one your link points to, - are both created by Coppermine. If you're using GD 1 I guess you could see this behavior, - depending on the images you put into it.. the big picture is the original, - un-altered, as I see it, - and that's why it's 'ok'.

Not that I know a lot about Coppermine, - but it is interesting that both images, -created by Coppermine are wrong... so I'd look into the GD 1/Gd 2 /Image Magick settings in Config if I where you....

I have just realised that my version is 1.2.1.  Can the Mods please move my post for me?

I take it that now makes your comment (kiig) obsolete?

I have no idea :-) I still think that Coppermine generates thumbnail and intermediate file, - and the last, - big, image is the original, - so the problems is probably still with Coppermine (the image convertion process) as theese two images are wrong... Are you using GD1 or 2 or Imagemagick ?

kiig wasn't asking what version of cpg you have - although that is important - he is stating the version of GD or imagemagik that you're using. Your image processing configuration is not correct. And you'll need to reupload your images because the intermediate and thumbnail pictures are already created - so they need to be recreated. make sense?

This usually happens when you have GD1 set in config, but the server uses GD2.  Check your php info to check which version you have.  If this is the cause, reset it in config to GD2.  This affects all versions of coppermine and any other image app, if the wrong gd is set.

But this will only affect new pics.  You do not have to reupload, as Skybax suggested, just use the admin tools (resize utility in version 1.2x) to rebuild the thumbs and intermediate pics.

Off topic/  I suggest you try puting your header in the template.html, in a new table row you create above the one containing the menu,
and just remove the coppermine logo.

And I recommend you upgrade to 1.3.2.  It's very easy.

We are going to upgrade to 1.3.2 but in the mean time I'm unsure how I check whether I'm using GD1 or GD2 :-\\

It's in your phpinfo.

in admin mode, click on admin tools, then 'show phpinfo'.  Look down the list for GD.

Ooops,

forgot this is the 1.2 board.  What I suggested above does not apply here, sorry.
