Hello José,

I don't have your file to test, but here are some thoughts:

- is your source image file actually 24 bit?  (what does gdalinfo return?)
- I am guessing you have reviewed the Raster Document very closely for
24bit Rendering
(http://www.mapserver.org/input/raster.html#bit-rgb-rendering).  It
states there that "Currently rendering of 24bit imagery is only
supported via the GDAL renderer. The built-in PNG, JPEG and other
drivers do not support 24bit input images."
- I would therefore test (if I were you) using different GDAL
OUTPUTFORMATs (DRIVER "GDAL/PNG" or "GDAL/GTiff" etc etc)
