someone loudly complained about the notice i put on my website (which includes pages such as and ) that Chrome is an unsupported browser. i don't want to not have the notice as i find it important for people to know i will not offer support if they have issues while using Chrome, but i caved and make it look less ominous.

v0.3 out!

  • NEW palette remap mode
  • NEW gradient palettes to play with
  • tweaks to dithering algorithms for better results
  • option to un-stretch non-square pixels

happy new year! 🎉🥂

@jk @hazel i would love to build/see the tube camera version of this be built btw

@jk @hazel looks like the youtube video that was the source for this got taken down some time ago but i remember seeing around 2011 someone who built a game boy camcorder by slapping a TV tuner to a GBA and a portable PVR, so the idea is there

coming soon to : luminosity-based palette retargeting

(or, in adobe parlance, gradient map)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

like yeah thats 2k pounds but that's still cheaper than any motocompo used i've found

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.
