Hi Pierre,

Check if the dithering is enabled (#define dither), and try again with it 
disabled. This seems to not work for some people/systems.

What type of system are you using to create the original BMP? I'm using a 
Windows PC. I don't know why your images may be flipped. You could always flip 
the image before converting it, but that's juts masking the problem.

Regards,

PJE
