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. |
