Default Quark 7.5 PDF export makes photo's spot black

I recently updated my Xpress from 7.2 to 7.5. Ever since then, when I make a PDF with the export function, all greyscale photo's print much darker. When I checked the PDF with 'Box of Tricks', I noticed that all black & white photo's are now set as 'spot black', where it used to be 'greyscale'. If I convert the PDF with Box of Tricks back to greyscale, they print fine again, but this shouldn't be necessary to do.

I can't for the life of me find a way to correct it. I have tried different export settings, but they all do the same thing. Even tried to export as .EPS and then distill manually, but no luck there either. So I am thinking it's a 'preference' problem or something. Can someone help me resolve this?

P.S.

I posted this problem on the Quark forums last week, but didn't get any reply.
