Has anyone found a fix yet for the faded/light colors when you load an image you've made?

The only way I have found is to save a png, enter the photo editor like the Windows one, crop the picture just a tiny bit, save a copy and give it a different name. Somehow that generally solves the problem but be sure to avoid signs around a pure white background as these don't seem to get fixed - a dull white or light gray comes off better.
Also some display screens work better than others, the square non lit screens tend to be darker compared to say the tv screens.

Actually, you don't need to even crop it, or change the name. I'm simply opening the editor, and overwriting the file, and works just fine.
Non lit screens also works with lights and shadows in the game as any other texture, so they can look bleached in noon sun, and very dull in shadows. Lit ones gonna look more even in any weather condition, since they're emitting light on their own.

With the standard windows photo editor you can't actually overwrite the image without any changes hence the crop to allow an overwrite. I'm sure any other photo editors that allow direct overwriting are easier in that regard.
I use Gimp as well for all my editing. I then export the image in the right size etc. and open it with the standard microsoft photos, do something like flip the image and flip it back and then save it and it counts that as a change, no actual alterations needed. It always seems to work for me.
It’s about the same amount of clicking, but if you open the windows editor, apply a colour filter, and remove the colour filter, you can overwrite the file without any changes at all (even minimal cropping). Annoying if you’ve got a load of images to do, but it does the job.
Edit - just realised Cocolori said basically exactly the same thing. Apparently I’ve not woken up yet today…
I think I learned the trick by someone on reddit a while back and just did that method ever since, always good to know there's a less intrusive way to do the same thing.
