For saving images from a direct graphics window, try SAVEIMAGE:

Do you still have problems?

Had a similar problem depending on the systems color allocation table. I
Worked arround this problem by writing the images directly as raw data
and converting them to TIFF on another machine.

Perhaps some more details could be useful:

IDL Version?
OS? Shell?
What are you doing exactly?
What pictures (size, color deepth, export format...)?
What commands (example?)
