Example sentence(s):
  • Dithering becomes objectionable when the pattern is diffuse, and when the palette used is obviously alien to the original image. cleverchimp.com
  • If you can see any dithering it is because you are running in 8-bit mode and the colour does not have a close equivalent in the 6x6x6 web palette. WPDFD, LTD
  • Dithering in photos is generally more visible because the dithering is not in a predictable pattern. Pat Kalbaugh

dithering


Definition from Grafisk leksikon:
Dither
Simulation af en farve i et billede ved at blande prikker af andre farver

Example sentence(s):
  • Anvender man en lav farvedybde, men alligevel ønsker et nogenlunde fotorealistsk udtryk, kan man bruge såkaldt dithering. Det vil sige, at farveblandingen sker i øjet i stedet for på computerskærmen, ved at de farver, der skal blandes placeres i et finmasket mønster, som på en vis afstand opfattes som jævne farveflader og bløde farveovergange. Dette minder til en vis grad om den teknik, man bruger ved firfarvetryk i en trykt publikation. - Farvedybde - artikel i Wikipeida  
  • Printkvaliteten er også en hybrid mellem inkjet og laser, idet der opnås de samme kradse- og vandfaste print med stærke farver på normalt papir som en laserprinter, men med inkjetprinterens dithering. - Printerguide fra forvirring til sindsro  
  • Dither betyder, at din komputer tager et par ledige farver og forsøger at blande dem for at lave en farve, som den ikke har. Denne "dither" funktion er grunden til, at billeder nogle gange er prikkede. - Nå, så du vil lave en hjemmeside!  

Explanation:
Inden for grafisk fagterminologi anvendes de engelske udtryk ofte direkte uden oversættelse til dansk.
