When I change the image_alpha of my sprite (plugged into a draw_sprite function) from 0.5 to 1, the game's graphics seems to get slightly darker.
Anyone know what's going on?

Post the code (plus the code either side of it) - perhaps you are affecting the rest of the games alpha somehow. Changing the alpha from 0.5 (slightly transparent) to 1, would make everything solid, and probably give the darkening effect.
Are you using the with() function - if you use it incorrectly, you can end up altering all off your sprites, not just the one you want.
You also might want to post screen shots showing before and after the screen darkening happens if possible.

Haven't used the with statement yet. I took some screen shots, but there wasn't a difference. Must be a hardware issue.
Draw Event
The image_alpha changes in the Create Event, Step Event, and a Collision Event.
Draw Event
Code:
draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,x,y,1,1,0,c_white,image_alpha);IndianaBones

Can't see any problem there. Should only affect the sprite attached to the instance.
Obviously, you might want to test on another machine if possible to check if its the hardware.

No, but I was aware of that. I'm pretty familiar with GML, but not so much with GameMaker Studio (I worked primarily with GM7 back in the day). I'm thinking the issue is a weird quirk that might be related to specific hardware, or perhaps an obscure graphical setting. I'll definitely be interested to see what happens on a separate machine.
Anyway, thanks for your help guys!
