Line 8:
'''Dither''' is an intentionally applied form of [[image noise|noise]] used to randomize [[quantization error]], preventing large-scale patterns such as [[color banding]] in images. Dither is routinely used in processing of both [[digital audio]] and [[digital video|video]] data, and is often one of the last stages of [[Audio mastering|mastering]] audio to a [[compact disc|CD]].
 
A common use of dither is converting a [[grayscale]] image to [[Binary image|black and white]], suchso that the density of black dots in the new image approximates the average gray level in the original.
