I gave it a whirl posterizing the only pattern I had a scan of and it did a fairly nice job. (URL) You could use a few paint (...)

I was messing around with some (URL) macaroni bricks> the other night and made a cool pattern, but I didn't have enough bricks to fully flesh it out, so I fired up ldraw.

Hello everyone in mosaic land, I've been lurking on these forums for many years and this is my first post!

(...) I'd say it looks like the image on the right was contrast enhanced before the dithering was applied. Stand back and squint at the images to see the change in contrast. The light colors are all clearly whiter. You can also see some color (...) (21 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)
