The problem also applies to old fit images. One of the issue was that
the header in the fit image which contains the information does
sometimes come with 2 different formats. When the 2 type of format
exist, Guide is not reading the information and discard the image
leaving a outline square on the screen. Bill did fixed some of the
problems but not the one mentioned above, to my knowledge anyway. If
your fit images are in that format, you will have a problem. As for
individual images being contrast and brightness modified, it would be
nice. I am not an expert in fit format but I believe that each image has
a range on contrast and brightness written in the file format. If you
set the levels by '%' of these values, the image should appear with the
same value as others with different ranges. Bill might be able to
clarified this information.

A consequence is that, if a decrease brightness up to obtain the two blank images with a normal brightness, the third one becomes totally black.
