Screenshot help!

OK, I've seen this happen everywhere... screenshots get darkened beyond recognition! Like, some of the pics I sent in w/ custom ships to TLR somehow got darkened to nothingness... like this one:

Now, I wouldn't even BOTHER sending in something like this!

Note, I'm not upset w/ TLR in any way... I don't think they did anything wrong what-so-ever, and I've had similar issues elsewhere, and I've seen other people have such problems. WTF is going on, here? I take a pic, send it somewhere, and when they look at it, it's WAAAAAY off!!! Way too dark! It seems like there is some kind of automatic rebalancing of brightness somewhere along the line, but I have no idea what is up. Can anyone clue me in?

just use something like adobe photoshop to brighten it

Yeah... I really want to understand the problem though... try and save other people work, ya dig? Like, I save the .bmp or .jpg or whatever and send it off. Then, when they open it, it's way too dark, so they have to brighten it... I'd rather take care of it myself, and frankly, I'd just like to understand what's going on. Like, we're not just talking a minor difference from monitor settings... we're talking big-time (can't even tell what they're looking at initially), and simply rebrightening it doesn't necessarily come out so good. The problem is also extending into video files, which is more of a problem. These things look totally fine for me, but when they get to someone else, it's damn garbage... I really want to understand what's going wrong.

EDIT: OK, now apparently we've discovered that in the videos, if he ("he" being the guy at the other end getting all the darkened stuff) skips to a frame it looks fine, but when he plays it, it darkens. Blast!
