The md5sum for out.bmp is identical for 0.11, 1.0 and current git head: 9f7c293e0940a372c6d897d769b110d4

ffplay out.bmp -fs shows no yellowish colour, several other display methods (gimp, xv, ImageMagick?, ffplay without -fs) show some distortion.

[richardpl]

Input palette is black and white only, while output rgb24 pam/bmp is not any more black and white only.

[cehoyos]

Replying to richardpl:

Input palette is black and white only, while output rgb24 pam/bmp is not any more black and white only.

Could you elaborate? The sample command line only produces pal8 output.

[richardpl]

Sorry, it also happens when going from pal8->pal8. Just add logs to dump palette entries to lavc/bmp.c

The original issue was fixed by Michael in a830915b78e2d96f08dc93b2d1c4330448b83ffd, see ticket #3028, work-around was to force full_chroma_int.

is missing. (comparing to previous log)


Which implied full_chroma_int are set in both operations.





Off-topic:
What's the difference between full_chroma_int and full_chroma_inp?..
And their relationship? (dependencies, etc...)

Not fixed.

Check carefully (zoom 800%), comparing to the reference group from: ​https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_gallery_of_image_scaling_algorithms

Or change the -pix_fmt pal8 from the above command to -pix_fmt rgb24 then render one, compare them.
