i'm trying to think of more things to put in the , namely a way for it to generate a luminosity-based indexed image that can be palette-swapped later (i.e. what webgbcam already does) but to add that function in i'm struggling to think about what the UI controlling it would look like and function together with what's already there

Dithered

Please enjoy one (1) 16-color dithered Pike, pixelated and ready to pounce. Created using mavica’s Ditherinator.

[🖼 A stylized pixelated 16-color image of a small Yorkshire terrier in a pounce position on a living room floor. Behind him is a pile of several dog toys and two bowls with kibble and water. He is dwarfed by a green couch in the background.]

Also by chance this week my friend Branen recently did a deep dive into the etymology of “dither” in the image processing context and found this 1912 citation where it meant allowing a little vibration for smooth movement of a piston, and this 1952 diagram comparing mechanical and electronic dither.

Or as he summarized:

Dither as a way of making machines work more smoothly -> dither as a way of decorrelating quantization noise from signal -> dither as a way of making digital images look better

That’s pretty neat.

It's made me grumpy. I'm tired of living in a world where everyone is constantly out to trick, wheedle and dark-pattern stuff out of you on the sly.

Just charge a fair price for good work for smeg's sake. Piss off with the trickery, fucks sake. 🦬

@jk i want to help them in their plight. the cats should have the seven Cat Crystals

halt and catch fire was so good i might just have to watch it a fifth time

Atkinson dither on small screens is the utterly perfect timeless combination for me. I already grabbed BitCam on iOS the moment it was released, and this webtool is the joy of that but with amazing things like the original Macintosh 16-color palette, which was superior for photos thanks to its oranges, browns, and greens, shown here with this #ditherinator repost of my earlier photo.

It practically feels like opening a portal to 1990 it’s SO COOL

v0.2!!

  • NEW palettes!
  • NEW dither modes!
  • custom pixel aspect!
  • more UI controls!
  • doesn't completely suck on mobile!
