Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Text color changes when inserting figure as graphic

[james1015]

Hi All,

I'm new to the board and to LaTeX, but I've decided to use it to write my thesis. So far everything is great, but when I insert a figure as a graphic, the text on that page is distorted compared to the text on a page without any graphics. From the graphicx documentation, it seems there may be a problem using color (these are color figures), but I can't seem to figure out how to fix this. I have included a MWE with one of the graphic files I am attempting to use. If anyone has a suggestion, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}  

\begin{figure}[tbp]
	\centering
		\includegraphics{C:/pressure-wo-extension.png}
		\caption{Mean pressure values}
	\label{fig:pressure}
\end{figure}

Notice the text in the caption and other text on the same page as this figure.

\pagebreak

It will be different from the text on a page with no figure inserted.
\end{document}

Hi,

I compiled your code and couldn't reproduce the problem mentioned. What LaTeX distribution are you using? (I ask because I can only suspect that you could be using outdated packages).

Add \listfiles just before the \documentclass command in your code, compile it and attach to your next post the .log file obtained.

It seems silly, but now when I run the MWE I created and my main file I don't get the problem anymore. Not sure what could have caused that. I'm running MiXTeX 2.8. Anyways, here is the .log file. Thanks for your help.

The concerned graphics file has an alpha channel for transparency. Remove this channel with an image manipulation software. Current versions of the pdfTeX engine are more capable in this regard and should be able to handle this kind of graphics.
