What the bloody hell is going on here?

Earlier today I found out that Stomp (one of Fist2Face's suppliers) had most of Opeth's back catalogue on campaign (that's fancy record label speak for "on sale"), so I set about adding them to our system and ordering a couple of copies for stock.

The album cover images on Stomp's catalogue website were shite to say the least, so as I normally do when searching for album cover images I went to Wikipedia to see if I could find it there. God bless those nerds, Wikipedia had it in relatively high-quality. (If you click that link and view the image, you'll see that the album cover is nice and dark, but completely greyscale. No colour anywhere.)

So I uploaded the image to Fist2Face, and somehow, in the process of saving it to my computer and re-uploading it to F2F, the image turned a harrowing shade of blood red. It's black and white on Wikipedia, black and white on my computer, and I didn't change it... so how the fuck did it turn red all of a sudden?

I'm a little frightened.

It's those people in the background. They want your blood.

Now it looks like the artwork for Still Life! :P Perhaps a comment on the albums' quality?

Its possibly because it was originally a grayscale jpg, and the upload process changed it to rgb, which fucked the colours

I may have lied about that... it's not actually greyscale, there's a fair bit of blue in the bottom half, and yellow in the top half.

I still dunno how it turned red though haha

Doooo deee doo dooo..

You should email those criminal investigators who get psychics to solve murders... someone probably died on your computer before it was sold and now its haunted.

There - problem solved. Just get some holy water... or get Nich to piss in a jug?
