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.

Some pics processed with #ditherinator by @mavica_again. do take a peek at https://maple.pet/ditherinator/ - it is frickin tops.
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
#ditherinator v0.2!!
couldn't recharge so i refactored #ditherinator so it's dead simple to add new dithering modes
i want to get some funkier dithering modes in #ditherinator. do you know any other error diffusion or ordered dithering modes i haven't implemented?
