There seems to be something weird going on when uploading a picture and it's headers. If a file is created on the server through move or copy - the file can apparently only be seen and used through the img tag in html. So in other terms - you create a database entry (id, name, whatever) for the upload, and construct the name of the uploaded picture that way. Refer or call it by the IMG tag - it will show correctly. When trying to open the file independently in a browser or GIMP or Photoshop - there seems to be something wrong with the header of the file, and the application will not show the picture. Maybe this is a bug, dunno - but it is something strange that kept me searching for some time :(
