livecode changes image colors without being asked to do it

[Robert Brenstein]

Thanks Sean. I finally had time to check your file and indeed it 
displays correctly in 8.1.6.

It still displays wrong in 7.1.3, but it displays differently than the 
file without profile, so this must be the profile issue that was fixed 
in 8.1.3.

In other words, my problem is with the way jpeg file were generated. It 
would be nice if LC handled such files like Preview does or at least 
returned a warning that profile is missing.
