You wally:

My dad works in newspapers. Newspaper print is a VERY good example of
dithering. Why pictures in newspapers appear to be grey, yes, is infact the
size of the BLACK dots next to WHITE spaces.

If the balance of black and white is equal, its normal grey.. If there is more
black than white in a given area, itll be a DARKER grey. Duh.

Television is a VERY good example of dithering as well.. If your TV screen
was white, and you moved up real close to the TV screen, youde see a bunch of
red green and blue dots..

If youre TV screen was an aqua color. Youde lean up to the screen and see only
blue and green dots.


Think, bud. THINK.
