The left image is how it was supposed to look and the right image is how it would look after upload.
Several weeks ago I noticed that some of the digit graphics I uploaded (not photos I'd taken) were uploading dark/muddy.
- Exited Blogger and signed back in
- Restart my computer
- Pretended like it didn't happen
- Tried it on a different day
- All of the above
One or all of the following has gotten me pretty far so you can imagine my frustration when none of those options worked.
What do you do when all else fails? Google it of course! I didn't realize the irony of this until this moment... You know, because Blogger is part of Google... Well I didn't find anything, which then lead me to believe two things:
- This is a "new problem" for bloggers
- I'm the only one that didn't get a certain memo
It took me a couple days to solve this not-so-big-but-annoying problem and all it took was unchecking a single box.
If you go to your google+ settings under Photos all you need to do is uncheck the box under Auto Enhance! Ta-da! That's all you have to do!

Thank you so much for this! I thought I was losing my mind because photos looked so different.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this!! I'm going to go uncheck that box now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this info!! This has been driving me crazy for a while and I couldn't figure out what to do about it. I just unchecked the box and confirmed that all is now well. Phew :)
ReplyDeleteOh you have no idea how much better I feel knowing I was not the only one!
ReplyDeleteGlad to help out!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! Hope your week kicks off great Alana!
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that sometimes my pictures look different and maybe this is why?! Going now to see if that little box needs to be unchecked! Thanks for the great tip Lena!!
ReplyDeleteI was having this problem with my header and FINALLY found this answer on one of my google searches. It was making my header look like a light blue box instead of white -_-
ReplyDeleteAhh! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh that is awesome! I was wondering the same thing! ♥ stupid google!
ReplyDeleteI noticed this too...and like you I was just hoping it would magically go away. :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis was happening time awhile back and it was driving me crazy!!! Everytime I uploaded my white header it looked gray! I'm pinning this in case it happens again and I forget what to do :)
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! I've been wondering how the heck to fix this, finally Googled it, and your post was one of the first things that came up. (Congrats on THAT by the way.)
ReplyDeleteI tried doing this and my pictures are still darker and 'enhanced' when I upload them... It's really frustrating since I have a white background for all the products and then it turns out grey... Do you know why this wouldn't work for me?
ReplyDeleteOMG, thank you. I had been using PNGs to fix the problem, but it's not as easy to control png file size from Photoshop as jpg and I'm not sure that FB likes PNGs as thumbnails when you share a link.
ReplyDeleteoh my GOD!!!! Thank you!!! What a simple fix to such an annoying and confusing problem! Thanks!!!!
