DitheronParameters
Adjustments
Adjustments change the image before the dither stage. Set them before deciding that a mode or palette is wrong.
| Control | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Brightness | Reveal or reduce source detail before the treatment. |
| Contrast | Separate tonal regions for a firmer pattern. |
| Saturation | Change input color intensity. |
| Gamma | Shift which tonal region carries the pattern. |
| Invert | Reverse the input relationship. |
| Downscale | Build a lower-resolution source for larger pixel structure. |
| Blur | Soften source detail before the treatment for a wider, less literal pattern. |
| Crush | Push tonal separation so the treatment appears in clearer graphic regions. |
Downscale with purpose
Use Downscale when the treatment needs visible pixels. Pair it with Scale only after checking the result at delivery size. Fine settings can disappear in a high-resolution timeline, while a low-resolution source can make a modest scale read strongly.
A quick correction pass
-
Set contrast so the source has readable tonal separation.
-
Use gamma to move the response into shadows or highlights.
-
Add downscale only when a coarse source is part of the idea.
-
Add Blur when fine detail makes the pattern too busy. Use Crush when the shot needs firmer light and dark regions.
