I had this problem on Ubuntu 14.04. Removing the ICC Profile, as suggested in comment #14, solved the problem for me.
I'm also wondering where that profile came from... Why do some users have it and others don't? I don't ever remember intentionally installing or making changes to ICC profiles. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938751 Title: jpeg images are washed out or colors are skewed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/938751/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
