12bits filter plugin for Photoshop ---------------------------------- Copyright 2004-6 Toby Thain . This code is provided as an example of a simple cross-platform filter plugin, which can be used as a template to start other projects. What it does ------------ This filter was developed due to a specific request on comp.graphics.apps.photoshop ( http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=3e033126%241%40news.opusinteractive.net ) It merely quantises each channel of an image, rounding input values to nearest of the 16 possible output values (0,17,34,51,68,85,102,119,136,153,170,187,204,221,238,255). A version that does a simple quantisation is included, as well as a separate version that does Floyd-Steinberg (error diffusion) dithering to smooth the result. Please contact the author with any bug reports, suggestions or comments. The latest version is always available from http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/
