I don't understand why solid green color (#00FF00) converted as mix of 
black and white dots (you can see this in my out1.bmp). Is this result 
of dithering? And why paletted image works as described in 1.1.3 manual?

At the ned, I need behaviour that obtains with paletted image, so I 
simply convert 'RGB' first to 'P' then to '1'. This behaviour will not 
breaking in future releases?
