I recently tried creating a new image style that included a Desaturate effect and a Scale effect. Neither effect was applied to the Preview image on the admin screen.

According to the admin/config/media/image-toolkit page, the GD toolkit is installed and working properly.

I'm running:

Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8l PHP/5.2.9 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0

Is there another setting I need to tweak before the Image Style Previews work properly?

Marking as a duplicate of #758628: Improve GD library hook_requirements() for color and image modules. This issue is older but that one has a patch.
