It’s my four year work anniversary at Double 11 today, and I feel very fortunate to be employed in video games - what with the state of the whole industry - at a decent employer. I’ve worked out that it’s also my 40 year anniversary of actually starting work in video games! Less for murder, etc.

Yes, constrained nearest-colour quantization, per-cell dithering (users choice of algorithm), and mostly-automatic palette selection with a manual background colour selection override in multi-colour mode. Quantization method, dithering, and palette selection are independent processes.

Sometimes it can work remarkably well with little or no dithering depending on the source image. Alternatively you have a choice of ordered, Floyd-Steinberg or Atkinson dithering with a user selected intensity value.
