Thanks Peter,
Just one additional note, I have had this same issue with my own effects, as well as the sample effects.
It is not an isolated issue to this one effect file.
Thank you again for your help with this.
regards,
Dave
Also, my gfx drivers are not terribly old, within 2-3 months.
That said, I will download the newest release now and will post to let you know if anything changes.
Here are sample animation outputs, attached to this post.
Notice the color image has the problem I described, and the 1 color and grey images are ok.
Also, here is the effect file.

Thanks again.
I will export an animation and upload it in a few minutes, just need to adjust and re-export for 4 frames.
I can tell you immediately something else I have noticed though.
The issue only occurs with full color .png and transparency.
It works correctly with greyscale + alpha and 1color + alpha.
samples coming soon
Thanks
