2.12 error

Update : the photo error I reported on the 2.12 update was fixed.as said before,this app is great and looking forward to new dither effects.

More pattern & pal PLZ

Love the video dithering! Plz keep updating us with deeper dithering & palettes options please✨

Pretty good if you have the money

It’s actually a pretty decent app if you pay the fee. It’s really nice to be able to dither videos without it even having to be loaded. It’s a bit janky but provides enough color options and allows you to create your own.
