   Dithering
   when displaying a picture on a computer screen in, say, a 256 colour mode, it is possible to give the impression of intermediate colours by mixing dots of the different colours in different ratios - this is done using a random displacement of these dots to avoid a patterned effect. This technique is called dithering

   Dithering
   Utilised when images are reduced from 24-bit to 8-bit colour. The dithering algorithm combines pixels of adjacent colours into a dot pattern, simulating unavailable colours. It reduces the posterisation effect that colour depth reduction can create. Photoshop offers two dithering options - the best is Diffusion Dithering.

   dithering
   (data, algorithm) A technique used in quantisation processes such as graphics and audio to reduce or remove the correlation between noise and signal. Dithering is used in computer graphics to create additional colors and shades from an existing palette by interspersing pixels of different colours. On a monochrome display, areas of grey are created...

    Dithering
    Dithering is a technique for archiving 24-bit quality in 8 or 16-bit frame buffers. Dithering uses two colors to create the appearance of a third, giving a smooth appearance to an otherwise abrupt transition.
