p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Does that also happen with older PNGs that used to work?
Does it look better in CPU preview?
Did you already reboot the computer?
Please tell us your system and Illustrator version.

I would then first reboot the computer.
And reset the preferences if the reboot does not fix it.
For resetting the preferences: quit Illustrator and then rename the preferences folder. This can be made undone in case it doesn't work.

The reboot did not work. Reset the preferences did not work either... but I don't know what you mean with renaming....sorry

in the end resetting the preferences did the trick. I had to redo everything but at least the mistake does not occur anymore.
Thank you for the hint!
