    Is it because they're cmyk vs. rgb ?

    Thanks! Probably because they were extracted from pdf files.

    I think that's it. CMYK is standard for printing. I remember having this happen a few years ago myself where images wouldn't show in a browser until I realized I had saved them in cmyk mode; I use firefox 99.99% of the time now so I didn't notice at first and had to test. I'm going to replace the original attachments in your post with the rgb versions and split the last few posts re: rgb/cmyk in a bit so I don't take things off topic. I'll leave this in the forum suggestions/comments forum in case someone else encounters the same thing at a later date.
