Well, it's not gallery itself. If the images are being resized on upload then it could be ImageMagick or NetPBM, but I doubt it.
If you still have the original files on your local server, try opening them directly in your web browser. I suspect they will look yellow and faded.
If so, then you have an issue on your machine with colour management. If not . . . . well, check it out first.

they looked fine before i installed gallery. when i had them embeded in a html file. any suggestions to make them clearer?

OK, you win. It is the software (but not actually gallery). Go to an image page and click on the image. The full size version looks fine, doesn't it? I've not seen this before. I suspect it's the software doesn't like gifs. If you are using NetPBM, try ImageMagick, or visa-versa.

Wow, that's new and interesting. It's definitely your image processing toolkit as Joan says. You could also try upgrading to the latest version of whatever toolkit you're using. Or you could try using the precompiled NetPBM binaries that we offer on our download page since they're known to be good.

everything installed is new. the new netpbm, and the newest gallery.
would jpgs work better?

1) Jpgs are better for photos. Gifs only use 256 colours, so don't look as natural as jpgs (usually)
2) Most people use jpgs and I've never seen this. So I suspect that GIFs are the problem.

5.5yr old thread, but it's the only reference to the issue i'm having
finally got around to putting imagemagick 6.2.6 on my 1&1 linux hosting (6.2.7 from sourceforge was a corrupt tar file, and anything above that STILL fails in g2)
using java upload applet, resize on upload, imagemagick, all my photos are resizing red
and i really want this figured out as there is absolutely NO other option for resize on upload using vista or later\
and sorry, it's a registration only gallery, so you can't see the photos yourself

5+ years old and G2 was not even thought about yet.
Please start a new thread.
