  window_background_image_hsb = {
    -- Darken the background image by reducing it to 1/3rd
    brightness = 0.3,

    -- You can adjust the hue by scaling its value.
    -- a multiplier of 1.0 leaves the value unchanged.
    hue = 1.0,

    -- You can adjust the saturation also.
    saturation = 1.0,
  },

Your config says /home/the99spuppycat/Picture/Wallpapers/wallpaper_01.png but your screenshot with the working imgcat is /home/the99spuppycat/Pictures/Wallpapers/wallpaper_01.png

I have change to use the feroda version instead of flatpak, but with the same result as you can see here @wez.

I have also change it to png because the docs say so, now the image not even load anymore The Debug overlay now say this instead:

wezterm doesn't resolve paths using ~; that's a function of your shell. You need to specify the correct path for wezterm to load it. You can use https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/lua/wezterm/home_dir.html to reference your home directory.
