But it can't recolor your pixels if you do high-contrast banding -- i.e., a
band of black, a band of medium gray, a band of white, a band of dark gray,
and finally a band of light gray. I think it can only (fairly) do color
substitutions when it's using a dither that hops between low-contrast color
states. But the LEGO Brick-o-Later lets you go in and specifically fine tune
the image anyway -- so you really get the final say no matter what it does.
(Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how it looked.)
