Image Algorithm

The Image Algorithm controls how MakeIt processes your image. Below you can see a description of each Image Algorithm, along with examples of how that each algorithm changes the look of the example image. 

 

  • Grayscale: With a diode laser this can provide great shading but is harder to get right than plain dithering. 
  • Atkinson: A good “in between” mode for solid color or smooth shaded images. It resembles Jarvis but preserves detail better, though very light or dark areas may be blown out.
  • Floyd: A classic image processing technique used to convert high-depth images (like grayscale images) into low-depth images (like black-and-white images).
  • Jarvis: High quality dithering. Usually the best choice for smooth shaded or photo images.
  • Stucki: High quality dithering. Slightly faster than Jarvis and a good choice for smooth shaded or photo images.
  • Threshold: A simple on / off switch if the image is dark / bright at a given location. This should only be used for images that are two-color black/white to begin with.
