Q
What is dithering, and how does it help when saving real-life images as GIFs?
A
Dithering is the process of juxtaposing pixels of two colors to create the illusion of a third color. It helps minimize color banding and creates the appearance of more colors and detail in an image, though it can also increase file size.
