[TYPO3-english] Extreme blur with GIFBUILDER

[Christian Hennecke]

Hello,

I have to create an image by applying extreme blurring to an original 
image so the result is like you are looking at the original image 
through frosted glass. Using the maximum of blur=99 for the EFFECT 
object is by far not enough.

I tried to solve the problem by using several EFFECT objects after 
another. However, the result looks like it was converted to 256 colors, 
i.e., you can see lines where the color changes not fluently but 
abruptly. (Before anybody asks, processing is set to use truecolor PNG 
internally, so that's not the problem.)

Any ideas how to solve this?
