Overview When Java version of Image Uploader is used to upload JPEG files, under certain conditions the generated thumbnails will be way too dark, as on the picture below. Thumbnail generated with Image Uploader Normal thumbnail How to Reproduce This problem occurs only in Java version of Image Uploader with JPEG files created with Nikon cameras which have the ICC profile "Nikon sRGB 4.0.0.3001." under the following conditions: Thumbnail size larger than EXIF thumbnails (typically 160 pixels). Thumbnail resize quality is Medium. Reason When Medium quality is used, Image Uploader uses the Java ImageIO library to read the image. Due a bug in this library, it reads JPEG files created with Nikon cameras which have the ICC profile "Nikon sRGB 4.0.0.3001." incorrectly. For more details see bug 6372769 in the Java bug database. Solution Currently the only solution of this problem is to set the resize quality to High: Code: `iu.addParam("PreviewThumbnailResizeQuality", "High");` This bug should be fixed by Java developers in the next release of the Java platform. Notes This problem does not concern neither ActiveX version of Image Uploader, nor any JPEG files with ICC profiles different from "Nikon sRGB 4.0.0.3001."

We're using Version 6.0 Feb 21, 2009 and the problem only occurs when uploading on a Mac (10.4 in test). It happens in both Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5. Stripping the EXIF data from the jpg before uploading seems to resolve the issue but this should be addressed properly in an update. We haven't tried the high quality thumb fix mentioned above. I'll open a case and send a sample image.

Actually this is issue in JRE implementation on Mac. Nevertheless we realize that it is important problem because photos made by Nikon cameras are not handled by Image Uploader correctly on Mac computers. We will try to find a solution till the next minor release.
