My version of Opera (9.2) inverts the pics in the body ( not the links
on the left. ) I see that some of the graphics include the word
"frontpage" as part of the file name - that is always suspicious!

Yes, I can see the same in Opera 9 here.

And no version of Internet Explorer (Mac or Win) will display them at
all.

They're inverted when I view them in Photoshop.
Perhaps your version is cleverer.

Chrome and OmniWeb show them inverted and Firefox does not so I would
guess it is a Webkit thing

I don't know, it looks fine in either PS CS or CS3.

I played with it some more and this is how it displays here across
applications...


Correct colours
in all Adobe applications (PS, Indesign, Acrobat), Freehand MX, FF and
Opera 10

Interestingly although these applications display the image correctly
when placed, the preview you get in the import dialogue is inverted.


Inverted
in just about every Apple application like Safari, Mail, Preview, Text
Edit, iWork but also in Opera 9


Colours distorted but *not* inverted
in iView, Eudora


As far as I understand rendering in OSX is usually provided by QT except
for those applications that rely on their own engine. So perhaps that's
QT tripping up?

On a side note, simply re-saving the image as a CMYK jpeg gets rid of
the problem and it looks fine everywhere.
