IMAGE DITHERING
About the application
I completed this small application to create an aesthetic look for images, converting images to dithered versions. It can be a way to allow people to perceive more colors than the original image.

Code Logic
I initiated this project by employing the cimg_library to display a pop-up window for the dithering procedure. This involved a straightforward static application that required the image input to start the process. As the grayscale and dithered images started appearing on the pop-up, I established a few global variables to initialize the data types in use.
In order to convert an image to grayscale and then apply dithering, I utilized a for loop to manipulate the RGB pixels of the image, transforming it into grayscale initially. Subsequently, I repeated this process, resulting in the image transitioning from grayscale to a dithered representation with the updated pixel values.
