To fix this you just need to add the lines applying to .img from style.css from the default wp theme to the style.css in your theme. Here are the lines I had from wp 2.5 default theme:
img.centered {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
img.alignright {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
display: inline;
}
img.alignleft {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
display: inline;
}
.alignright {
float: right;
}
.alignleft {
float: left
}
