Hi, I have now investigated the color errors in Adobe Reader further. I produced a test PDF without simpleslides with MKIV (mtx-context | current version: 2011.09.10 12:55). Here is the source: \language[fi] \setupcolors[rgb] \usemodule[metafun] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=black] \startreusableMPgraphic{variympyrat} vardef ColorCircle (expr method, factor, ca, cb, cc) = save u, p ; path p ; p := fullcircle shifted (1/4,0); image (fill p rotated 90 withcolor transparent(method,factor,ca); fill p rotated 210 withcolor transparent(method,factor,cb); fill p rotated 330 withcolor transparent(method,factor,cc)) enddef; draw ColorCircle ("normal", 1, cyan, magenta, yellow) xsized 6cm; draw ColorCircle ("darken", .85, cyan, magenta, yellow) xsized 6cm; currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0,-6cm); draw ColorCircle ("exclusion", 1, red, green, blue) xsized 6cm; \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \startcolor[white] \title{metafun} \includeMPgraphic{variympyrat} \title{svg} \externalfigure[variympyrat.svg] \title{png} \externalfigure[variympyrat.png] \stoptext and here is the output: https://pi-xi.net/share/context_reader_test.png https://pi-xi.net/share/context_reader_test.pdf You can also see the original files used in the test here: https://pi-xi.net/share/variympyrat.png https://pi-xi.net/share/variympyrat.svg The gray background effect happens randomly even with only using svg images straight from inkscape. When using png images, I noticed it happens more often when there are multiple layers in the png. With metafun graphics, the image colors are messed up in addition to the gray background. I would like to know: a) How to avoid it with metafun, png AND svg graphics? b) What is the cause (Adobe reader bugs? Errors in my source? Erroneous image files? ConTeXt bug?)
