It would be easier to analyse if it was a bigger picture. Also, you should consider making a picture when Noggit is in a light environment.

Sorry, I haven´t that in light environment. But if you can see lines between layers, so thats the problem.

With jpeg compression and badly lit screenshots, this really is impossible to see.

Use in-game-shots, saved as png.

I think, that i have just poorly expressed :D . Problem is that there are transitions between colors like in old games with 256 pixels resolution and that wasn´t here before saving and loading. I think that come into being by something like when you make low compression with images.

As said: Ingame shots.

Nothing else is relevant.

I am sorry, but I still can't see anything wrong. May it be due to my bad eyes or bad color profiles on all three monitors. Sorry.

The only thing I could suspect is that the texture itself has some gradient that does not come out good or that you have some layer on top making it look weird.

Yes, it is that problem, but it wasn´t here before saving and loading.

I can't really help you out, but I see what you're talking about. It's fairly apparent banding.

Have you tried smoothing it out with varying opacities/strengths of the texture brush?
Exactly! I tried smoothing it out, but it helps only with some textures...
