iTunes 7.5 album art in screensaver is red

I just upgraded to iTunes 7.5 everything seems to work okay, but now my album art in the iTunes screensaver has a red hue to it. Album art is fine in iTunes and on my iPod. Anybody know what happened and how I can fix it?

2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 17 inch iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11), 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDAM

Same issue...seems to occur after firmware upgrade. Very annoying. Maybe a pref file??

Any idea on what to do about it. I am going to try and delete the pref files for iTunes and see if that works. Would there be anything else I need to delete.

I have the same issue. I just noticed it today after installing the latest Mac OS X upgrade (10.4.11). It might have been there earlier, but I think I would have noticed it.

Given that everything looks fine in iTunes itself, I would guess that the issue is with the screensaver software.

I have the same problem with my screen saver, all my other ones are fine but iTunes is reddish. I thought I was going mad. This has been since I updated to 7.5 version. Is there any way that I can downgrade back to the old version?

I am not sure how to downgrade, but I had 7.5 and it was fine until I installed the latest firmware update. I am not 100%, but I am thinking it is with the firmware.

I changed the Options to display 3 rows and the color cast went away.
returning the settings to more than 4 rows returned the red color...

I can report similar behaviour: for me the problem disappears if I reduce the number of rows to two (but it is there for three rows and above).

Thanks, I changed the rows to 3 and it is fine now, but anything more than 4 and it is red. I hope that apple sort this problem out as I have heard that there are a few more bugs with this version of iTunes.

I'm having the same issue since I updated itunes last week. I really don't want to have to lower the number of rows for some stupid issue that worked fine a few days ago. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.
