Does gif builder convert whatever source images it uses first to a gif, before then saving it in the 'format' specified?

Fort a site I'm making, all tt_news images must have grey borders with round corners.

To achieve this I have used an image processing script like the one below. It does everything I need. It sizes the images and makes a greyborder with round corners, and within the border is the article's image. What it also does it make the outputed image look shite.

It must be a something gifbuilder is doing to the image before saving as png. Is there anyway that I can do this without the image quality being ruined? Is there away maybe of combining the original image with a gifbuilder image (of the border and mask) rather then making teh original also a part of the gifbuilder?
