Please get it from: http://david.pleyades.net/Explorar0044.jpg It's has a size of 2.80Mb. Hmmm..., don't bother to download it ;), i'm starting to see the cause of my problem. The image is quite big (2100x2800) and when the image is scaled to fit in the screen, the ugly 'bands' appears, but they aren't visible with a 1:1 zoom. I've scaled down the image and the bands are not there now. So it seems the problem is with the zoom. When a big image is fitted to the screen size, it doesn't look nice (you know, bands ;)). What confused me was that gqview, with the same image size, fitted it to the screen size and no bands were drawed... I think now is time for the gimp gurus to solve this zoom thing, i'll leave the image in the URL above some time in case somebody is interested ;) Thanks all for your help ;), cheers, -- David Gómez "The question of whether computers can think is just like the question of whether submarines can swim." -- Edsger W.
