Modern screens and printers can reproduce millions of colors, making for mostly smooth display of colorful images. But in the early PC days, only a few colors at a time could be rendered, creating the need for color-reduction techniques to get the best results out of limited technology. “Dithering” is an umbrella term for various methods of simulating intermediate colors by sprinkling dots of “pure” colors in different patterns.

I've always wanted to live in a King’s Quest world. Now I can.


Best dithering app!
Minoton

This app is the best tool I have ever used for dithering images on the go. It works flawlessly; the images produced look like they walked right out of 1992. Just incredible. The full version lets you save video and is only $1.99. There are no adds or dumb pop-ups or anything. If you want to dither, don't delay in downloading this app. Get it!


Old school graphics!

Pixely filters that are a ton of fun to play with
David Jonathan Ross

I've never been a big user of filters in other apps, but Dithr is in a league of its own. I was lucky enough to be a beta tester for the app, and it didn't take long before I found myself taking pictures and videos of mundane, everyday objects (radio towers, ceiling fans, and even plain white walls), just to see what wild colors and gradients I could get Dithr to produce. Between the filters, color palettes, and resolution slider, there are plenty of options to play with, and the in-app purchase to shoot Dithr'd video is totally worth it. Dithr's effects can range from subtle to full-on 90s computer game. And I am an especially big fan of the color callout feature, where I can highlight a bright color in an image and turn everything else to black and white. Highly recommended!

This is a fun and interesting app, although it would be better with more features/options. I suppose the developer already has this in mind. I plan to suggest this to my photographer friends to see what they think.


Beautiful retro photos app

Fun app! Throws me back to the photos I took on my early 2000s flip phone. Keep the retro sampling filters coming! PS It'd be nice to be able to adjust the aspect ratio (normal photo, square) and size of the image (by pinching fingers) directly in the app.


Dithr rocks!
