### OpenEmulator screenshot

|

This is a screenshot taken from OpenEmulator when viewing the Double Hi-res image.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Some difference in colour tone is visible due to blending of colours across pixels (e.g. brown blending into grey, in the background). This is due to the fact that OpenEmulator simulates the reduced chroma bandwidth of the NTSC signal.

OpenEmulator screenshot of image produced with `--palette=ntsc --lookahead=8`. Not only is the background colour a much better match, the image shading and detail is markedly improved.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Rendering the same .dhr image with 4-pixel colour shows the reason for the difference. For example the background shading is due to pixel sequences that appear (with this simpler and less hardware-accurate rendering scheme) as sequences of grey and dark green, with a lot of blue and red sprinkled in. In NTSC these pixel sequences combine to produce various shades of green.

### bmp2dhr (OpenEmulator screenshot)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Comparing bmp2dhr under openemulator is the scenario most favourable to it, since the 140px resolution and non-treatment of fringing is masked by the chroma blending. Colours are similar to ][-pix, but the 140px dithering and lack of gamma correction results in less detail, e.g. in hilights/shadows.

### a2bestpix (OpenEmulator screenshot)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This a2bestpix image is actually atypical in quality, and shows some severe colour errors relating to the pixels that should be close to the orange/brown colours. These may be due to errors/omissions in the set of "colour blocks". The effects of not gamma-correcting the source image can also be seen.

### bmp2dhr
|

|

|

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The image is heavily impacted by colour fringing, which bmp2dhr does not account for at all. The difference in brightness of the groundhog's flank is also because bmp2dhr does not gamma-correct the image, so shadows/highlights tend to get blown out.
|
||||
|
||||
### bmp2dhr (OpenEmulator)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This bmp2dhr image was generated using a palette approximating OpenEmulator's colours (`--palette=openemulator` for ][-pix), i.e. not the same image files as above.
|
||||
On OpenEmulator, which simulates NTSC chroma sub-sampling, the fringing is not pronounced but changes the colour balance of the image, e.g. creates a greenish tinge.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Colour balance here is also slightly distorted due to not fully accounting for chroma blending.

Detail and colour balance is much improved.
