Otherwise, yes, please attach a few samples with the corresponding URLs.
Problem solved!!!
The local copies of the pictures, whether untouched or edited by GIMP or IrfanView, displayed fine on my browser yet were a mess after being uploaded: undisplayable or mangled. I realized it must be my tried and true upload program that was mangling the pictures and was momentarily baffled since FileZilla had always worked fine for me before.
Then the penny dropped. Yesterday, I was playing with my .htaccess file and the reference material that I'd been using warned me to be absolutely positive I uploaded it as Text, not Binary. So I manually set the Transfer Type to Text. It was only when I realized that my picture problem was being caused by FileZilla that I realized I never set the transfer type back to Auto after I finished my .htaccess experiments. As a result, the pictures were being uploaded as text rather than binary so of course they were messed up.
It's not the first time I've shot myself in the foot but I haven't made THAT mistake in a very long time (if ever). ;-)
Anyway, thanks for your help! You got me going in the right direction. :-)
I've given a detailed explanation of what I did wrong so that it can help someone else having a similar problem some day....
