add gray images appear in red color

[yangge]

When I add gray images in data as texture, it turned to red.  How do I get it to appear in its original color.

Convert grayscale jpgs to RGB in 3rd party DCC tool (like Photoshop). Or you can do it via ImageMagic convert tool: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34874771/convert-jpg-image-from-grayscale-to-rgb-using-imagemagick

Red indicates a missing texture, or a PRESET is applied >> Mask, which only uses the RED channel.
Check the texture properties and the if there is a preset applied and which channel the Texture has.

Only RED or RGB.

Ah, I just saw in you screenshot, the jpg is converted in a ATI/R8, so only red channel used.

You want to do RGB.

Also tip: dont use jpg images if your original source is an uncompressed image file. Rather do tif, tga or png or also good directly RBG8 dds uncompressed.
Let UNIGINE then do the file conversion into DDS like DXT.
