You know you've had a bad flight when your destination was Chicago, but you're now in Memphis and your luggage is in Scottsboro, Alabama.

@WWGD I have noticed starting recently that your posted images are "dark" like seen through sunglasses. Like there's a semi-transparent grey layer on top of the image. Is it just me?

WWGD's posts can be pretty racey. Your Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril-Sensitive Sunglasses are kicking in to protect your tender sensibilities. See if you can find the manual override.

I meant, I'm not aware of making/ Having made, any changes.

Well, SOMETHING is going on and it would be nice if you could locate it and do something about it. Don't the images look overly dark to you?

Here's an example of an image you posted and how I cleaned it up to post on Wood Barter

 

[gmax137]

Well I'm just glad to.know I'm not seeing things!

 

[WWGD]

Maybe this one will be different

 

[WWGD]

I suspect I may have saved the pics after 10p.m , when the dark settings set in automatically.

NOPE:

Well DON'T DO THAT !

You need to work faster than the speed of light, in order to exceed the speed of dark.

Not sure if you're serious but it doesn't work that way.

Screen darkening happens at a different rendering level than the image render. What you're suggesting is tantamount to 'the pic I took is dark because I took it while wearing sunglasses'.

My suspicion is that you are 'selecting' the image before right-clicking to copy, but I'm not sure that works either.

Not quite serious. I just fited the first thing that came to my mind.

An excess of Liquid Holiday Spirits ?

If so, it'll eventually dry out.

 

[WWGD]

Ok, let me try copying an old image , see how it looks

Does that look as dark as recent ones?
Or this one

Do they seem as dark ?

 

[phinds]

they look good to me, although the first one is just a tad dark but may have been that way in the first place.

The camels appear dark to me.
The strawberry one looks fine.

An 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years, had died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years mainly due to her interest in health, food, and exercise. When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen and master bath suite and Jacuzzi.

As they "oohed and aahed" the old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. "It's free," Peter replied, "this is Heaven." Next, they went out back to survey the championship golf course that the home backed up to.

They would have golfing privileges every day and each week the course changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth. The old man asked, "what are the green fees?" Peter's reply, "This is heaven, you play for free."

Next, they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisines of the world laid out. "How much to eat?" asked the old man. "Don't you understand yet? This is heaven, it is free!" Peter replied with some exasperation. "Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol tables?" the old man asked timidly.
Peter lectured, "That's the best part...you can eat as much as you like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This is Heaven."

With that the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down his hat and stomping on it, shrieking wildly. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him what was wrong.

The old man looked at his wife and said, "This is all your fault! If it weren't for your blasted bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!"

@WWGD, Your images are back to being dark/washed out again.

Out of curiosity, what is your workflow for posting an image? Are you taking a screenshot of each images and then uploading the screenshots to PF? It seems that something in this process is darkening the images.

If so, a possible solution is, rather than upload images to PF, simply upload the URL of the original image. This is easier to do anyway, if the image is already out there on the Internet somewhere.

1. In your browser, don't copy the actual image that you want to post. Instead, just copy the "image link" or "image location" (the actual wording depends on your browser).
2. In PF, when making a new post, click on the image icon, in the editing tab.
3. In the imaging tab, click on the sub-tab that looks like a couple of circles linked together. If you hover your mouse over this sub-tab, it will say, "By URL".
4. Then paste the image's URL in the field.

[Edit: my proposed solution may have problems if your images are behind a security wall; i.e., if your images are from a website not freely available to everyone. But if your images are from a website anybody can read, the above process should work fine.]
