Odd Skin section bug

[Sansui]

I am really not certain what is causing the skin section to invert the colors of the preview of the skin I submitted. But it seems as its only that skin being effected by this every so strange glitch.

As hakeem pointed out, it seems to be more of a 180 hue change.

Thats weird. Did you have a second version with blue skin? because if so the system could have forgotten to update the preview.

 

[Sansui]

no, no second version exists... It is very strange as its not even truly inverted... but the browns and blues have swapped.

Yeah, I'm getting the same color-inverted bug: the unwrap actually looks more like this:

 

[Samuraid]

It's because the C and Y channels (in the CMYK colorspace) are reversed. This is normally how BLP images are stored, and to decode them, one must swap the C and Y channels. The resource section code normally does this automatically.

My guess is that the BLP -> JPEG conversion that the resource section uses is either not working fully for this image, or is was originally encoded with the C and Y channels pre-flipped (which would be wrong) or maybe it was even in RGB colorspace somehow.

I noticed this on many icons that were submitted a while back. The colors were inverted.
