At the time when image viewers used to change screen palette, resolution and color depth just to show a picture, and decoding compressed images came with a progress bar attached, people regularly did want to get dithered black and white or 16- and 256-color images from better and bigger sources. Desktops only became True Color when VRAM started to be measured in megabytes, and there was no point in storing or transferring enormous files to use as illustrations or wallpapers. I remembered an artifact from the palette color era, shareware application called “Graphic Workshop” (GWS) with extensive dithering options, and found it among conveniently emulated software on archive.org. https://archive.org/details/win31_festival_GWSWIN10 https://archive.org/details/win31_festival_GWSWIN10 https://archive.org/details/msdos_festival_GWS61G https://archive.org/details/msdos_festival_GWS61G It would be great to load other files instead of example images. In fact, archive.org stores virtual file system changes on client, and files remain available across sessions, but there seems to be no way to interact with those virtual Dosbox mounts, or to transfer any data except for typing it.
