I agree with both of you :-)

I have/had the same problem with the png output, but only when looking at it 
in WinEx. In any other paint program it looks alright. What seems to solve 
that, is to open it in a paint program (PSP for instance) and just 
save/overwrite it.
I have not experimented with bmp or tga, though.
