Walshed-off image when converting byte[] image to tex2d/sprite

Unity Engine
1

Hello
When a user uploads an image (png or jpg) on my game I convert it at runtime as per below to a sprite but it renders washed off, particularly noticeable for blacks and whites.

Original image:

5412414--549888--witcher.jpg
5412414--549888--witcher.jpg1200×600 230 KB

Converted image:
5412414--549891--convertedWitcher.jpg
5412414--549891--convertedWitcher.jpg1873×1057 484 KB

I develop on URP but I’ve tested the pipeline and it’s not the problem - I manually assigned the image as Sprite (2D and UI) in the inspector to the UI and it looks fine.

This is the code I use:

private void FileWasOpenedEventHandler(byte[] data)
    {
string path = UnityEditor.EditorUtility.OpenFilePanelWithFilters(title,localImagePath,filters);
byte[] fileContent = File.ReadAllBytes(path);

//bytes to texture2D
Texture2D thisTex2d = GetTexture2D(data, name);//placeholder rawimage component

//create sprite to attach to image component
Sprite thisSprite = Sprite.Create(thisTex2D, new Rect(0.0f, 0.0f, RGBTexture2d.width, RGBTexture2d.height), Vector2.one);

Hero.GetComponent<Image>().sprite = thisPropSprite;
}

public Texture2D GetTexture2D(byte[] data, string name)
        {
            var texture = new Texture2D(2, 2, TextureFormat.ARGB32, false, true);
            texture.LoadImage(data);
            texture.Apply();
            return texture;
        }

Can someone please shed some light as to what I may be doing wrong or considerations?

Thanks a bunch

Please ignore, if it helps anyone TextureFormat was the culprit :hushed:
var texture = new Texture2D(2, 2, TextureFormat.BGRA32, false);
