I was wondering about this as well, but I figured that it doesn't seem to be a bug at all. The reason why it looks for some of you "correct" in Gimp is, because you don't have color management for your monitor enabled in the preferences (either set a specific monitor profile there, or tick the fallback option, which will make it use the color profile from the window manager).
Thus, what Gimp is showing you all is the image without your monitor profile applied, while EOG always uses your monitor profile. So when the image in EOG looks dull to you, that's actually how it's supposed to look like. -- 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.
