http://www.webglearth.com/ is grayscale on Mac, in WebKit. In Firefox it's in color. This seems like a bug.

That's strange. It probably has something to do with which image loaders are being used. It appears in color in Chromium and grayscale in Safari. I'll take a closer look.

The CGImageRef coming back from ImageSource::createFrameAtIndex (ImageSourceCG.cpp) thinks that it's 8 bits per pixel. I'm stumped so far why this is happening only for the images on this site. Most WebGL content using textures (including PNG textures like this site) displays properly.

The issue is that the PNGs loaded by this application are indexed, and the CG image loading path for WebGL doesn't handle them properly. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47477 .

So then shouldn't this be marked a dup of that? Or is there more to it than just handling indexed PNG correctly?

(In reply to comment #4) > So then shouldn't this be marked a dup of that? Or is there more to it than just handling indexed PNG correctly? I'll close it as a dup shortly. Patch forthcoming for the other bug.
