LiveCode changing color of images?

I've imported icon images into my stack, and find that the colors are quite different (seemingly inverted to the complementary colors) from how the original images appear in my browser and in Photoshop. See screen capture showing stack vs Photoshop.

My ink blend mode for each image on the stack is "srcCopy". I tested all of the other ink modes as well, and none of them render the images in their original colors.

What am I doing wrong?

Is there a fix for this?

What format were the icon images in?

On GNU-Linux (Xubuntu 21.10) LiveCode can manage PNG, JPG and BMP formats without problems.

Thanks for the reply richmond62!

I figured out that my use of CMYK images was the problem. When I converted the images to RGB, they displayed correctly after being brought into LiveCode.

That's something worth remembering.

I have always used RGB images (without bothering to
even think about it).
