discoloration after resize in Java upload

[kicker10bog]

Hello,

I'm working on a site to sell photographs from and I want to resize the images so they don't take up as much space. ... I tried the java upload resize feature. Well, it resizes the photos ok, but the really big photos get discolored....
like this -->
This photo is over 2mb on my computer, but after resizing it, it's only 224kb

Has anyone else had this trouble?

Hi, yes this is a known issue, the java upload has problem with pictures of some cameras. So you need to find other solution then .e.g. resizing the images in some software on your PC.

On one server where there was no place for original images. I have installed Joomla! and Phoca Gallery on my localhost (on my PC) and have uploaded all original images to the gallery and created large thumbnails. These large thumbnails I have copied to the folder and renamed and copied to server as original images (they were resized automatically all-in-one with Phoca Gallery on localhost).
