- I does actually do dither! At least with the 3.1 picture datatype. If a colour
- is about halfway between two colours it creates a simple on/off type pattern.
- It's very ugly, it looks like a disabled gadget.

- I've compared some web pictures with the same pictures rendered by ADPro using
- no dithering at all and they always look better than picture datatype's effort.
