Color Classic Poor Desktop Picture Quality

[Greg Koelpien]

I am perplexed by an issue with Mac OS 8.1's "Desktop Picture" control 
panel on my modded Color Classic. The problem is that I can have a 
perfectly smooth image scaled at 640x480 that looks great in Photoshop. 
However, when I set it as the background image, it looks a lot worse, 
and there's this weird banding effect. I've tried high quality JPG, 
256-color GIF, PICT files, and it still looks bad. The screen 
resolution of 640x480 with thousands of colors should render these 
perfectly. These same images look fine when opened in Photoshop 4 on 
the same machine. Any explanation as to why these images don't look 
their best as background images but fine in PS?
