HI,
I mentioned this some time ago.

*High res* png files with alpha enabled, have always resulted in
distortions on the LaTeX produced pdf files, even though the png files are
not distorted when viewed under Preview.
The solution to to disable alpha. Then they appear clean.

I use TeXShp 3.77 under Sierra 10.12.3

Hope this helps.
