[Gimp-user] Image discoloration

2013-02-25 Thread Llewellan 
I have just installed Gimp 2.8 and really, really like it except upon opening an
image to work on, Gimp really discolors it. This so spoils the original. I have
good image display on all other programs. I am hoping for some insight on how to
correct this problem please and I am not computer savvy by the way.
Thanks
Llewellan

Which platform? Linux Ubuntu? Which version?

One possible reason is to do with colour management - you might need to
use Edit/Preferences to disable colour management. This can be needed in
particular if (1) there's a bug :-_ or (2) you have an incorrect colour
profile for your monitor (not uncommon on Microsoft Windows I hear), or
(3) the input file has an embedded colour profile that's incorrect.
