@vanvugt; Hi Daniel, the problem with your solution is that it re- introduces the problem of banding on cheep monitors. The reason the image has noise is because on cheep TN monitors you get terrible banding with gradients like this. We have been through a lot of iterations of different

My background is computer graphics. I've been on that industry for about 20 years. There's no way wallpapers with so much gradients on a limited color range that cover a big screen area at the same time will look good on most screens today. Not only laptops use mainly 6-bit panels. There are also

I don't know if you can get the physical colour depth from the EDID but doubt it. When I first encountered such a problem it was a Macbook Air 11 with Nvidia graphics. I was shocked, but the good news is that the Nvidia driver does temporal dithering, so it looks nice (once you turn that feature

John, Lossless is a good improvement. But I think even the original uncompressed image is too grainy (which looks like noise but technically isn't). That's a problem which has to be addressed by the artist and not in the compression/conversion :( Keep bug 1016824 in mind... -- You received

The current compression is really noticable and ugly. Since ubuntu is moving away from the 700Mb iso size restriction i think a lossless PNG would be perfectly acceptable. It also seems like most of the public currently hates it... perhaps more could be done to make it at least feel *somewhat*

First of all it actually is 12.10 wallpaper rotate on 180 degree. Seriously. It is wrong in 12.10 as well and it is not due to grainy effect. Grainy effect actually supposed to hide color banding and it is not supposed to break image into small squares. That's actually happens when you
