The chessboard dithering you are putting on some of these conversions is very effective. That's definitely not a sperm whale or a blue whale though! I think it's a humpback whale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my you are correct its a humpback my bad ,, Dithering either makes or breaks the image I test all the dither options and go with the best one and cross my fingers. Thanks!

The Atari 8bit has came a long way Rasta converted pictures are the very best the 8bit can do without a hardware upgrade like the video board XE (VBXE) IMO Edited March 3 by Atari8man2004 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 93 colours. I am super happy with how this turned out. Simply by messing with the various settings, I was able to go from what would have been a terribly banded 10 colour image, to this one! I am attaching the destination preview for running with no dithering or image adjustments just to show the difference. Now for the good stuff.

Beeblebrox Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) @Atari8man2004 Loving the alien female and mushroom house 3, and the Waterfall and roses is great and has a lot of potential. Really rich greens and a really nice contrast with the pink of the roses. Do you have the source image for Waterfall and roses that you could post so we can see the original colours etc? Can you image this in an interactive text/graphic adventure with this image and description above the command line(?) : As you crawl through the dark stone tunnel a glimmer of light comes into view in the distance, and the sound of rushing water. At last you emerge into a vast open cave and the entrance to an ancient ruined temple covered in vines and lush plants. A water fall cascades down into a cool underground lake and you can see the sky and remnants of other ruins above. Roses surround you at every turn. You hear faint chanting.... >What do you want to do? >Enter temple Edited March 7 by Beeblebrox 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a src files. When I saw theses images I wonder how well would they convert to the Atari and had to give them a try.
