+
+<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
+
+<p><b>ppmdither</b> reads a PPM image as input, and applies dithering
+to it to reduce the number of colors used down to the specified number
+of shades for each primary.  The default number of shades is red=5,
+green=9, blue=5, for a total of 225 colors.  To convert the image to a
+binary rgb format suitable for color printers, use -red 2 -green 2
+-blue 2.
+
+<p>You can do another kind of dither -- Floyd-Steinberg -- with 
+<b>pnmquant</b> or <b>pnmremap</b>.
