What is Smart Image Dithering?

Smart image dithering is a technique used in digital imaging to create the illusion of color depth in images with a limited color palette. By intelligently distributing pixels of different colors, it helps to reduce color banding and improve visual quality, especially in images with gradients or subtle color transitions. This method often involves algorithms that analyze the image and apply dithering patterns that enhance the perception of detail and smoothness. Overall, smart dithering enhances the visual appearance of images while minimizing the artifacts that can arise from color quantization.
