Comment on Screenshot-proof images via temporal ditheringparent

If you flick between two images at 25Hz then you'll sort-of get more colours. I think Quantum Paint on the Atari ST did this, to get more than 512 colours on screen (at the cost of the thing looking like a flickering mess), or maybe it's some other package I'm thinking of.

I didn't realise anybody ever bothered to do this on the Amiga - 4096 colours used to be enough for anybody - but of course there's no reason why you couldn't. The effect would probably only be improved with colours that are closer together.
