 * I’ve been attempting to upload some pngs with transparent reflections to a client
   site today, but every time I do, they go crazy. I’ve confirmed that I’ve turned
   off compression on uploads, I’m using the sRGB color profile and that they look
   fine when independently uploaded and rendered on a browser. For whatever reason,
   going through wordpress causes the reflection portion of the image to effectively
   get blown out – hyper-saturated color and almost no tones. So light reflections
   get shifted all the way to white and go largely opaque and reflections with a
   blue tone in the image get pushed to cyan with little to no tonal value (which
   is only white where it exists).
 * Any thoughts on what may be causing this?

 * makeseriously,
 * Give us a link to the site with an example of the problem. I’d really like to
   take a closer look at this.

 * I just attempted to do a test on another WP site I have that’s live and it’s 
   not repeating the problem… Let me see if I can get it on a public page where 
   it’s doing it.
