Field notes

The interface combines several dithering families with controls for pattern scale, intensity, palette colors, tonal adjustments, and grain. Its fade system can target the full image, the last half, or an edge, while Animate adds dither flow, breathing fade, light pulse, and moving grain before GIF export. The page states that processing happens in the browser and that images are never sent to a server; format support varies by browser.
