Background photo looks edited

When I upload my background images onto my home page, no matter what I do, I can't get the edit off of it. It looks heavily edited compared to the original images. There seems to be no option to remove it and no mention of it anywhere, I'm about to pull my hair out. 

I've tried setting the overlay opacity to zero, and editing the site style template to minimum transparency, nothing works. I've also tried all the css codes I could find and those don't work either. 

Help please! The first screenshot is how the images are supposed to look, and the second image is how it looks when I upload it into Squarespace.

Kindly provide your site url to check

I actually was able to solve my dilemma. The culprit was the .jpg image files. For some unknown reason they were making the photo heavily edited once uploaded into Squarespace. Tried .png and no edit. 

Sounds like SS ran your JPEGs through their own compressor and it caused a color shift.

Glad that you solve it, thanks for the information
