I am using the following to call a png image from a directory

$image = GD::Image->newFromPng($container);

The image displays, however the resolution is poor. How do I increase the quality of the resolution of the png?

Lincoln Stein's GD website says that if the original png is in true color it will display in true color, but that is not happening here.

Being a newbie, I have tried to implement the truecolor method but I am getting an internal server error most likely because I am doing it wrong.

Can the monks help me here? Thanks in advance for your wisdom.

Thanks to all who gave their input on this issue. I changed all the pngs to jpgs and this solved the resolution problem. I looked at all the png information on the net via google, downloaded gimp and followed the advice there to use jpegs instead of pngs.
