Hi,
I created a color gradient from #ffffffff to #666666ff with Inkscape. What I can't understand is, that you can see the single gray steps from the color gradient (see attached inkscape.png and zoom in).
Then i tried the same with gimp (gradient from #ffffff to #666666) and the output (see attached gimp.png and zoom in) is not so hard stepped then the inkscape output.
What goes wrong at Inkscape. Have I choose a wrong option or something like this?
The Steps at Inkscape was the following:
1.) Create new sheet with 320x240
2.) Create a rectangle and changed the x,y,w,h to 0,0,320,240
3.) Selected it with and created a gradient
4.) Selected for the top-left point #ffffffff and for the bottom-right one #666666ff
5.) Export as 320x240@90dpi
Anyone a clue what's wrong?
Thanks a lot
Soda

Thank you for you answer. It seems to be a bug and no good solution appear

Did you try my suggestion in the other thread to convert the SVG to PNG using Batik Rasterizer?

It's not a bug - it's a shortcoming of the current implementation, which was optimized for speed instead of quality.
By the way the proper term for this kind of artifact is banding.
