 ### Dithering
 
-Dithering, also known as regular or conventional dithering, is a technique where pixels of a color border are displaced in such a way that said border is no longer as sharply defined and has parts protruding in and out of the other color. It's commonly used for rough textures in the main Faithful packs and generally adding texture to a material.

-Checkerboard dithering (also known as checkerboarding) is exactly what the name describes — a simple checkerboard between two colors. This is often used in stylized pixel art, but is usually not suitable for Minecraft textures as it looks very repetitive.

 ### Linear Dithering
 
-Linear dithering (LD) is just like dithering, but the displaced pixels are longer and face in a particular direction, as if regular dithering was stretched. This is frequently used for wood-adjacent textures to mirror real-life wood grain, but can be applied in many different contexts as a smoother alternative to regular dithering.

 ### Wispy Dithering
 
-Wispy dithering is a form of linear dithering, where instead of using single pixels to smooth out color transitions, small clusters of (often linear) pixels are used instead. Faithful 64x makes use of this extensively as conventional dithering in higher resolutions can look undesirably grainy or fine.

 ### Automatic Upscaling
 
-Automatic upscaling (usually referred to as AI upscaling, despite having nothing to do with AI) is an umbrella term for algorithmic based upscaling methods. Some examples of automatic upscaling algorithms are bilinear upscaling, XBR upscaling, and RotSprite upscaling. These methods are usually unsuitable for Faithful, at least in an unedited form, since these generalized algorithms can't handle detail or color placement in a consistent way.

 ### Nearest Neighbor Upscaling
 
-Nearest neighbor upscaling is a specific type of automatic upscaling where individual pixels retain their size relative to the canvas regardless of the actual resolution. This means the texture looks identical despite being physically bigger, and it's a helpful base for manually upscaling the image in comparison with most other automatic methods.

 ## Palette
 
-In pixel art, a palette refers to the colors being used in an image. Since pixel art typically employs an intentionally limited palette, there are usually only a handful of colors being used at any point.

 ### Color Indexing
 
-Color indexing, color quantizing, or limiting palettes (LP) are names for the concept of reducing the amount of colors in a texture to only the necessary shades. This can either be done by hand or automatically using a program like GIMP or Aseprite. Limited palette textures generally have colors reused throughout the texture and noticeable color transitions.

 ### Noise
 
-Noise, as opposed to a limited palette, is a filter which randomly brightens and darkens pixels to make a texture grainier, often used by novice pixel artists. In other contexts, it can mean a texture with no "definition", in that the detail has no meaning and is just a jumble of randomly placed pixels with no thought or reasoning behind them, oftentimes on materials that make no sense to be noisy.

 ### Contrast
 
-Contrast is a method of classifying a certain color palette. High contrast means that the colors look very different from each other, and low contrast means the colors look very similar to each other. In more technical terms, it's the average distance between each color, usually in brightness, but sometimes with a mix of saturation and hue differences as well.

High contrast means that the colors look very different from each other, and low contrast means the colors look very similar to each other. In more technical terms, it's the average distance between each color in perceived brightness. Pixel art tends to use higher contrast than more conventional art since the use of a limited palette restricts the number of available shades.

 ### Stairing
 
-Not to be confused with staring, stairing is a method of making lines and curves, where each pixel moved up or down in the line is joined back to the previous one. While this can be employed in small amounts to create more natural looking gaps, it generally doesn't look good in large amounts and should be avoided.
