Just installed base3 and have noticed that all the images on the homepage - except slideshow - are very highly contrasted. I even tried changing some of them in the Gallery bit, but they are the same. Is there a setting somewhere I can tweak for this?

Are you on a local host or a live server?

This normally means you are using a buggy version of the php GD image library

Can you confirm the version being in the site?

It will be listed in the php information in the joomla backend

Is this what you mean?

Can you also confirm the php version on the server?

PHP 5.5.9. I can roll it back all the way to PHP 5.2 on my hosting control panel if needed?

Might be worth downgrading to a 5.4 version and then uploading a new image

I wouldn't suggest doing any work on the site till you can upload an image via zentools that looks normal

Not sure if you can change/update the gd library so would try the php route

Many thanks, will try this...

You are indeed a genius, the rumours were true. Your solution has worked!

So just for other members you changed?

Rolled back the PHP version on my hosting panel from 5.5 to 5.4. Then re-uploaded images. They now seem to be fine and as expected.

Thanks
