Yes, why didn't you mention directly which engine you are using?<br></blockquote><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Because we are only humans Ulrike. Sorry!

Well the backend of xelatex, dvipdfmx, has quite extended PNG<br>
support, see the documentation (texdoc dvipdfmx).<br>
<br>
And looking at the pdf one can see that your images are included<br>
with different color spaces. The "wrong" uses CalRGB<br>
<br>
<</ColorSpace[/Indexed[/CalRGB<</WhitePoint[.95046 1<br>
1.08906]/Gamma[2.19998 2.19998<br>
2.19998]/Matrix[.41239 .21264 .01933<br>
.35758 .71517 .11919 .18048 .07219 .95053]>>]1<504053ffffff>] <br>
<br>
The other one DeviceRGB: <br>
<br>
<</ColorSpace[/Indexed/DeviceRGB 1<504053ffffff>]<br><br>
pdftex uses DeviceRGB in both cases. <br>
<br>
I have no idea if this can be configured, you could check the<br>
documentation or ask on the dvipdfmx mailing list.<br>
