Changing background color on imported JPG

[Larry Spitz]

I have just imported a graphic (logo) .jpg file which has a white background
when viewed in many image viewers (xv, gimp, gthumb, ...). When I import it
into FrameMaker 5.5.6, the background color becomes a pale green.

I have imported thousands of JPGs over the years, but I cannot recall ever
seeing this effect.

Any suggestions on how to avoid or correct this problem would be
appreciated.

Cheers,

Larry

I found my own solution. I converted the .jpg to .tif using xv and the .tif
renders correctly in FrameMaker. Doesn't explain the .jpg problem though!

I've seen it quite a bit, and also pale pink. Sometimes it prints that way on
some printers but not others. I've never seen a firm solution except to stay
away from JPEGs ... and JPEG is awful for logos anyway, the worst, in fact,
as it tends to introduce artifacts.
