You wrote: "you have only succeeded in introducing artifacts and a drop in
colour-depth". And if you agree thatmost people can only see 8bit/pixel
because of the hardware, then the banding is not an issue of file format but
the way you generated/converted the file. Had you applied the dithering
yourseld, there would not be any problem.
