Ditherpunk
Transform images using classic dithering algorithms from the early days of computing.
Algorithms:
- Floyd-Steinberg – Error diffusion, organic look
- Atkinson – Mac classic, higher contrast
- Bayer – Ordered dithering, crosshatch pattern
Palettes:
- 1-bit – Pure black and white
- 4-gray – Four-level grayscale (Low Tech Magazine style)
- Zenburn – This site's color palette
Dithering makes compression visible rather than invisible—an honest aesthetic for the permacomputing age.
