Frequently asked questions

1. How can I install the DepthDither?
If you download the setup version with exe file, you should run the setup program, according to the tips to finish the installation. If you download the 8bf version, copy the DepthDither.8bf to the Photoshop plug-in directory. For example, you installed the Photoshop CS to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS, and the plug-in directory is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins, you can find the directory easily.

2. I can't find the DepthDither shotcuts in the Start Menu folder.
The installation doesn't install any menu shotcuts in the Start Menu. Photoshop detects the new plug-ins automatically, and it will appear in the Filter menu, you can find the menu folder named "Graphest", and DepthDither is here.

3. How can I uninstall DepthDither?
If you download the setup version with exe file, you can open "Add/remove programs" in your control panel, then find DepthDither to complete the uninstall. If you download the 8bf version, find the DepthDither.8bf you've copied last time, and delete it, it's easy and green.

4. There is no help or documents to introduce the usage.
Yes. We think the DepthDither is easy enough, and you will learn how to use in a minute. It's just like the indexed color window that Photoshop provides by default, and the options are the same.

5. When should I use the DepthDither?
If your designs and images are used for the LCD screen, such as mobile phone, you should use the DepthDither to process them for getting better colors. Some time, the image is very simple, and the color is few, and here is no gradient color, so you don't need to convert the image by DepthDither. But if you use the gradient color, or the nature color like sky and sunset, and the display isn't 24 bit, you should adjust the color to make it continuous by DepthDither.

6. I don't know the color depth of the display.
The depth mode parameter should be the same with the display settings. Current mobile phones often use the 15 bit or 16 bit color, but you should ask clearly for it. Otherwise, the result on PC isn't WYSIWYG(what you see is what you get).

7. How can I set the dither mode and adjust the amount?
The blue ball on the tripod slot is the key, and it can be moved by mouse. Press down the left mouse button on the ball, and drag the mouse curson on the tripod, the dither mode and amount will be changed. It's a triangle track control.
