Body: <p>I just uploaded my site to a live server.  My image assets all show a grayed-out broken image icon.  I assume this is because the image assets settings are not set to the correct new path.  </p>
  
  <p>If so, why can I view the image when I select it and the images appear on all pages and posts?  </p>

Comments.Text: You mean the Asset thumbnails are broken?  Are they 404'ing in your browser's console?  500'ing? My guess would be your live site is using GD and staging/dev had Imagick and the images are in a format on production that GD doesn't recognize.

  I just uploaded my site to a live server. My image assets all show a grayed-out broken image icon. I assume this is because the image assets settings are not set to the correct new path.
  
  If so, why can I view the image when I select it and the images appear on all pages and posts?
