Simple yet effective dithering

Hello! ....

(please read entire description)

Probably many GTA V players have experienced this disgusting and annoying artifact called "Banding".

Banding is a color representation in computer graphics that does not follow smoother transitions between hues, including games, resulting in ugly and contrasting color bars instead of a soft eye candy gradient.

• There are some examples in the game:

Basically, it's caused by the lack of dithering functionality, which sadly Rockstar didn't implement in the game, and it's been alyaws since the Xbox 360-PS3 version. Some users may try to increase their monitor brightness, but this is not a true fix, all environments and surrounding objects will be affected.

You can say: "But man, SweetFX already has this!" Yeah, but it doesn't reduce the gradient banding, it stops the game from creating extra artifacts, and it's not very efficient, sometimes it works, but most of the time it has no noticeable effect. However, I recommend using both, SweetFX + my mod.

This small enhancement will solve 99.9% of the banding issues in the game, injecting a lot of jitter, filling all environments with grain, and preventing gradients from "having power there". It keeps the image quality at 99% (because of very subtle noise).

Probably a lot of GTA V players have experienced this disgusting and annoying artifact, called "Banding".

Banding is when colours represented in computer graphics are not following a smoother transition between tonalities, including games, resulting in ugly and contrasting color strips, instead of one soft, eye-candy gradient.

-Here some examples in-game:

Basically, it is caused because the lack of a dithering feature, which, sadly, was not implemented by Rockstar in the game, and it alyaws have been present, since Xbox 360 - PS3 versions. Some users might try increasing their monitor brightness, but that is not a real fix, and all the environment and surrounding objects are affected.

You can say: "But dude, SweetFX already has a that!" Yes, but it does not reduce gradient banding, it prevent the game from creating additional artifacts, and it´s not very efficient, sometimes it works, but most of the times it has no visible effect. However, i recommend to use both at the same time, SweetFX + my mod.

This little enhancement will fix the 99.9% of the banding issues in the game, injecting a considerable amount of dithering, filling all the environment with grain, preventing gradients from "having power there". And it keeps the image quality at 99 percent(because very subtle noise).
