* Per Nicu's tip, the image is now indexed with no diethering (whatever
that is).
As we are here on a documentation producing project, I feel the need for
a short description of what dithering is.
Instead of using my own words for this, I found a very good definition
on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dithering#Digital_photography_and_image_processing
"Dithering is a technique used in computer graphics to create the
illusion of color depth in images with a limited color palette
(quantization). In a dithered image, colors not available in the palette
are approximated by a diffusion of colored pixels from within the
available palette. The human eye perceives the diffusion as a mixture of
the colors within it. Dithering is analogous to the halftone technique
used in printing. Dithered images, particularly those with relatively
few colors, can often be distinguished by a characteristic graininess,
or speckled appearance."
On the link you will find also a very descriptive images (so no need for
me to make a new ones in GIMP)
