Issue description
Some (not all) images I import (especially complicated ones) with alpha sections are not importing properly... synfig is ignoring some alpha sections.

I tried to import as pgn and gimp format.. neither work.

Im on Ubuntu, synfig 64.0 also tried 64.1

Thanks

Steps to reproduce this issue
This pic is an eg of the problem http://www.synfig.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4902

(pls import it in synfig) and put a black rectangle behind it so you can see it clearly.

Also pls import into gimp or inkscape (also with black background) and zoom in on both... you will see the difference.

investigating i suspect something around preference/gamma/colors setting=2.2 "instead of" 1.0

In the following images, look at and compare the alpha smooth (or not) limits.

reference output : gimp compositionicon_open_new.png

synfig composition 2.2icon_open_new.png

synfig composition 1.0icon_open_new.png

BUT ! when exporting to png file , the result is the same, always like with gamma set to 2.2 related to : http://www.synfig.org/issues/thebuggenie/synfig/issues/150
