I picked this up from a post in the Vermis subreddit and have been using it for a bit here. Some feedback (not that you asked for it):

Things I like:

  • Playing around with different effects
  • Lots of different options
  • Variety of palette options
  • Ability to save presets
  • Scaling options
  • Simple interface

Things I think could be improved:

  • Typefaces for UI: blackletter for headers and all caps for individual settings is hard to read. The typeface used for some settings (e.g. "Palettes and tonal mapping are mutually exclusive") would be better for both I think
  • When I zoom in or out, the interface also zooms in or out, which makes reading or applying options very difficult when zoomed out
  • When I apply a new effect or change a setting, the loading bar that shows how long it still has to load only shows at the very top of the image, so if you're not viewing the very top of the image, you don't know how long it will take. Paired with the previous issue this can be painful. 
  • Lots of different options are nice, but maybe a little info button (i) with a brief explanation of what each algorithm, effect, etc. does would be helpful
  • When I close with unsaved work, prompt me to save! I am old and forgetful.

Questions:

  • What is the legality of using images modified with this tool in commercial products?
  • Depending on the answer to the previous question, would you like to be accredited and if so, how?

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I will try and fix some of the stuff you mentioned in the near future

Regarding the questions:

  • You can do with the outputs of the tool whatever you want, so commercial usage is totally fine, as long as you have the necessary rights for the original image.
  • Credits are optional but always appreciated. If you want to add credits, feel free to credit in a way that suits you. Link to Itch would be nice, but a mention of the tool by name + my username would also be more then enough

I hope that answers your questions :) In case you ever release something where DitherMaster helped I would love to see it, so feel free to post about it here in the comments!
