bmp2eagle problem

I followed this procedure

to import the bitmap picture for using it on the silkscreen or maybe

even copper layer but there seem to be a problem with reading the .bmp

data. Here is the original test bitmap:

and this is the result after importing in Eagle:

It has to do something with the .bmp file format. I tried to save the

bitmap as Windows 1 bit, Windows 1 bit with flipped row order and OS/2,

but the results were similar as on the picture. Same when I tried to

save the bitmap with a few different picture editors.

I think any programmer who was programming bitmap libraries could

recognize what exactly is the problem with the conversion, because the

resulting picture obviously isn't completely wrong. It is in fact the

source bitmap but with 'slightly' misplaced pixels. And it in fact

isn't the first time I saw a picture with the same problem (I know it

doesn't have anything with video deinterlacing, the 'effect' just looks

similar).

Can anyone, please, confirm if there is exactly the same problem when

importing the bitmap in such a way? I saw import_bmp.ulp but that's

something else.
