uploading image to assets results in a very dark image
Hi, I have a problem with images looking very dark after uploading them, like having a black overlay. I didn't face this problem locally so it is only happening on the live/staging server environment.
Here is the report i am getting from the live server:
Perch: 2.8.4, PHP: 5.5.6, MySQL: mysqlnd 5.0.11-dev - 20120503 - $Id: 40933630edef551dfaca71298a83fad8d03d62d4 $, with PDO

The problem affects the resized images such as thumbnails (i.e img1-thumb@2x.jpg) and all other sizes which are created on the fly. The original image remains intact.
The first thing to do is update Perch to the latest version and see if the problem still exists.
I have performed the update to the latest version but I am facing the same problem unfortunately.
Here is a link to a screenshot of the Assets in order to see how the images look: https://snpy.in/AoQvpp
There was a bug in PHP's GD implementation that caused this, but I didn't think that applied to your version of PHP, only 5.5.9 and 5.5.10.
Were these images uploaded under this version of PHP?
I upgraded to PHP version 5.6.10 and problem is solved. Thanks a lot
5.5.6 was the PHP version they were uploaded
