Could it be you're unwittingly converting the graphic into 8bit color? That's certainly what it looks like. I've read that older versions of PHP and GD library don't always translate color depth. I don't have much experience programming graphics in PHP but I thought I'd offer up this possiblity. Hope it helps. -Kevin
