Are there any Julia packages for dithering images? Specifically Floyd-Steinberg dithering?

I noticed this one: [GitHub - xianrenb/DitherImage.jl: Simple Julia Package for Image Dithering](https://github.com/xianrenb/DitherImage.jl)  
But it hasn’t been updated in 5 years and there aren’t any docs.

I am not the user, but the following package might be available.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try.

Hi Phil, I just released a new dithering package that also implements the Floyd-Steinberg algorithm. At the moment, only 1-bit dithering algorithms are implemented, but I’m planning on extending it to color images soon!
