Dithering 1440p

1. Dithering 1440p
   1. Scene: Streets of Rage 2 #Bar Lights
   2. Scene: Super Mario World #World Map

Crops with a size of 280×280 from 1440p screenshots, of 10 different Shaders in the “dithering”-directory. Plus nearest and bilinear for reference and 2 presets from “presets”-directory. Dithering was often used in old games to trick you in seeing more colors or transparency effects in example. These Shaders here try to handle them and are meant to be combined with other Shaders. Bar Lights will show how it handles transparency. However there might be sideeffects, here illustrated on the letter “X” in SMW.

Scene: Streets of Rage 2 #Bar Lights

Streets of Rage 2 (USA) on Genesis / Mega Drive. The crop is from main character standing halfway under the lights. Most notably the pseudo transparency effect from the lights is the main test here.

Imgsli is an external service with the ability to zoom in and change the images to compare. I’ve uploaded sets with fullscreen captures.
