I have a VBScript that I run which compares two different folders of images using Beyond Compare 4.
The script file that it uses to run compares is this:
The "Colors, Fonts" settings on the "Picture Compare" tab for the Beyond Compare 4 installation are the following:
General -> Background = Black
Tolerance mode colors -> Same pixels = Black
Tolerance mode colors -> Different pixels = Red
Tolerance mode colors -> Similar pixels = White
The problem is that all of the heatmaps that are being generated all similar to this:

I decided to try and update the software, which I did (an update was available).
The software is now Version 4.2.3 (build 22587). I then rebooted the machine.
However, it's still generating the same black & gold heatmaps.
When I ran the comparisons from a different machine though (version 4.1.9, build 21719), it generated perfect heatmaps (gray-scale with differences highlighted in bright red). I'm afraid to update that installation, though, since it is working well. The settings on the Picture Compare tab under Colors, Fonts are exactly the same as the installation that is generating the bad heatmaps.
Why am I getting the odd black & gold heatmaps? Is there something that has changed in the settings that I am missing? I appreciate any help that you can offer.
Thanks!
