Dithering - Part 1
But these black and white pixels are specifically arranged to create the illusion of multiple shades. That’s what dithering does: it simulates more color variations than what are actually used. Here, it uses black and white to give the impression of multiple gray shades. To me, dithering is about creating the most out of what we have, and that's what amazes me the most! It inspired me to learn more about it, and now I want to share what I’ve learned. Please note that this is just part one out of three, so I’ll only scratch the surface here. I’ll go deeper in the next parts, which will come soon. Stay tuned! First, let’s explore the dithering basics with this grayscale image example. A grayscale image has various gray shades, from black to white. Imagine a display that only shows black or white pixels, no grays. We must turn some pixels black and others white—but how? One way is to map each pixel to the closest available color. Pixels darker than medium gray turn black and lighter ones
