image looks different in ios simulator than in photo preview

I've got a somewhat weird problem. I wanted to set a background image for a UITableView, but I also wanted to apply specific UIImageView methods on it, so I created a UIImageView underneath the UItableView and set the background color of the UITableView to [UIColor clearColor]. However, when I'm viewing my image in the simulator, the image looks a bit darker than in the imagepreviewer on mac. How is this possible?

For referenence, here is a screenshot that indicates the difference: http://cl.ly/image/2L0S18273m3O

You shouldn't have to add a view behind the tableView as UITableView has a backgroundView property that you should set instead.

self.tableView.backgroundView = ({
  [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"your-image"]];
});

This works for me: Setting your UIImageView as a subview of your table view (in storyboard drag image view onto tableview), then setting the background colour of the table view to be white => colours in simulator and storyboard are the same.
