anyway, as the png test suite passes ok the question is what makes your image different ... here it looks ok when included on windows64 bit and linux 64 bit

Your very own .png image and MWE works fine here on OSX, freeBSD, and linux.

Thank you, Alan! I converted this image and its comrades which showed artefacts to .tiff-images and so they all work at their very best. My conTeXt-version is: This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.00.0 ConTeXt ver: 2019.04.29 09:02 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.4.29 But the .log-file contains following strange lines: [...] luatex warning > pdfe: ? luatex warning > pdfe: ? luatex warning > pdfe: ? luatex warning > pdfe: ? luatex warning > pdfe: ? luatex warning > pdfe: ? pages > flushing realpage 2, userpage 2, subpage 2 luatex warning > pdfe: ? luatex warning > pdfe: ? luatex warning > pdfe: ? pages > flushing realpage 3, userpage 3, subpage 3 [...] There are 6 such .tiff-images on page 2 (without any other images) and 3 on page 3. On page 3 there are 5 other .png-images without any problems. I don't know what "pdfe" means. The 9 .tiff-images are few years older than the .png-images on page 3. This means they have been generated in a slightly other way than the newer .png-files on page 3, for instance by an older context-mkiv and GIMP 2.8 on debian 8 (Jessie) or later debian 9 (Stretch), wheras now I'm using context-lmtx on LinuxMint and GIMP2.10. But, as I pointed out, this .tiff-workaround is ok for me, because the artefact effect seems to be limited to those images on page 2 and 3 in my new book. Strange is, that the artefacts (with the same images which haven't been changed in any way) didn't crop up with older context-mkiv. Rudolf
