Bug still occurs in Ubuntu 17.10, Xorg session (never tried Wayland). Though all this probably known by now, a bit of extra information:
On my PC, this issue occurs with Gimp, Opera (probably other browsers too), Darktable. XnViewMP is not affected. As somebody mentioned above, it likely affects any app that uses the ICC profile set on your system. Disabling the ICC profile does the trick. However, if you do it via command line as suggested in comment #14, the ICC profile will be back after you reboot. You'll need to disable it in the colors tool (accessible from Settings). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938751 Title: jpeg images are washed out or colors are skewed Status in Eye of GNOME: New Status in eog package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in eog source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: Not all images are affected but enough are.
