Applying dithering (Macintosh)

On the Macintosh, you can set the screen display to dither 8-bit colors, to create a closer approximation of colors that do not appear in the 8-bit (256-color) palette. Dithering adjusts adjacent pixels of different colors to create the appearance of a third color. For example, a blue color and a yellow color may dither onscreen to create the appearance of a green color that does not appear in the 8-bit color palette.

To set the screen display using the Dither 8-bit colors option:

1

Choose Edit > Preferences. Click Colors.

2

Do one of the following:

Select Dither 8-bit Colors to dither colors onscreen to the closest approximation of the true color.

Deselect Dither 8-bit Colors to display each color as a solid color, as close to the true color as possible.

Click OK.
