FadeIn/FadeOut leaving white speckles over image in IE6

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using "useMSFilter", "useFadingIn" and "useFadingOut"
2. FadeIncrement set to 0.1
3. FadeTime set to 50

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It is behaving as expected (as far as the fade in/out), but on one specific 
image (which has a fair 
amount of black), there are white pixels being displayed - almost as if they 
were overlayed.  The 
problem goes away if I turn off the fadeIn and fadeOut options (both must be 
off).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The most recent... just downloaded.  The problem ONLY occurs on IE6 on Windows 
(XP in my 
case)

Please provide any additional information below.
You can see the problem at this location 
(http://www.rvgeeks.net/clients/scenicviewrv/gallery/svrv-gallery/index.html).  
I've attached 
screen grabs of what it looks like in IE6 vs any other browser. All images in 
the slideshow are 
fine, except for the third one in the slideshow (eagles.jpg).  The white spots 
that appear on the 
eagles' wings are not in the photo... as is proven if you right-click and save 
the photo, then view 
it.  I tried turning on the "useMSFilter" option, thinking this might solve the 
problem.  But it 
didn't.

I could, of course, turn off the fade effects, and the picture would look just 
fine.  But I really 
WANT the effects!

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

I'm very sorry about this, but it seems to be related to the filter handling in 
IE 6. I can't control the quality or any 
details of the fading, I wouldn't want to implement a version where the 
behavior in IE 6 differs.

For now, I think the only options is to try different fade times, or to try and 
save the specific image with a 
different light or color depth.

Robert,

Thanks for the post.  I understand not wanting to change the code just to 
handle the inadequacies of IE.

In experimenting with various settings on the slideshow and different 
color-depths, etc. on the JPG, I finally 
found that by changing the image from JPG to GIF solved it.  Not sure why, but 
it worked.  It's possible that 
other image formats (BMP, TIFF, PNG, etc.) would also work... but GIF did it 
for me.

Thanks, again, for the prompt reply.  I appreciate it.
