You mean the image from the external-graphic is lighter than the one painted through SVG/Batik when you render the attached FO file to PNG instead of PDF?
This has something to do with color management which is something I've only started to understand. Bitmap image handling is optimized for PDF (using decoded byte arrays instead of RenderedImage/BufferedImage for bitmaps) and this is probably the first time we see the side-effect of this. It's line 953 in Java2DRenderer where CS_LINEAR_RGB is used instead of CS_sRGB. But just setting this to CS_sRGB is possibly wrong in other cases. That's why I think the org.apache.fop.image package needs to be refactored to use RenderedImage/BufferedImage. The reason why the SVG/Batik-controlled image is appearing correctly: Batik internally works properly with the AWT image infrastructure and therefore preserves color space information which we currently don't in FOP. I will likely work on this in the next three months. But help is welcome, of course.
