Yep.  That's the downside to this, having to lower a 24 bit image to 8 bit
and thereby reducing the image quality.  You either get banded colors or
dithering.
I was going to use an example which would put the original image underneath
a clear material map so just the normals with specular highlights are
overlayed.  Could still be done that way too I guess, only need a second
object to place the image_map on.  Can't layer textures when material_map is
used, at least I don't think so.

About OE removing messages, check Tools menu, Options then Maintenance.  The
delete after so many days is what does it.
