Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

PeteCotton said Very cool Martin! I will follow along with great interest.

Possibly controversial view: I like the dithering on the graphics. It fits the nostalgia vibe. Very Amiga/ST "Magnetic Scrolls" like.

Thank you.
With the Atari ST, you still had the option to change the colors.
I usually run the images through several dithering processes* (FloydSteinberg/Atkinson/Sierra24A, etc.) and then layer them on top of each other and cut together the best version for specific areas.

I also often argue with Copilot because it often doesn't understand how the image should look, but ultimately it's less finicky than Gemini or ChatGPT.
I also archive the original images. If it works programmatically, I can also create a morecolorfull version for the PicomiteHDMI.
Cheers
Martin
*I still use https://ditherit.com/ to do the dithering with imported the RGB121 palette.
