Hi all gem dev,

I use GEM since 2-3 years (thanks thanks thanks) mainly on win (sorry) and noticed a strange behavior regarding the quality of the image with pix_video and pix_image : when it doesn't work fine, the image is as if the depth color was only 8 bits (looks like a gif image with few colors) whereas my screens are configured on 32 bits + I m' not able to load big images with pix_image (I made test with .tiff, jpeg and different sizes of images : other I get a blank texture, or the image is cropped and loading a new image doesn't work at this time)

when it works fine, the webcam image is nice, I can load images of any size and any proportion combines with pix_texture (no need of pix_texture2) what is strange is that it depends the fact that it works fine or not seem to depend on the computer : I use most GEM v0.90 Aug 3 2004 - Pd 0.39.2 from miller on xp pro : I tested several patchs on amd+nvidia, intel+ati, intel+nvidia (same Pd and Gem version) It works fine on amd sempron and nvidia 5200

I use more and more PD under Linux (debian, dyne, apodio), but I also often work with students that are scared to do an installation under linux if I'm not nearby I tried to look in the list archive with no sucess did this had already been noticed / discussed ? thks 4 all Benjamin
