Filter Lite is a minimal, very fast dithering mode with a coarse pattern and low computational cost. It is intended for real-time previews on slower devices and for quick test burns rather than for final engraving quality. Use it when you need instant feedback or when you are iterating on layout and settings; for the final run, switch to Floyd–Steinberg, Atkinson, or another full-quality algorithm.
Description
A super-fast mode that uses very little computer power. The results are a bit rougher, but it's great if your computer is running slow.
Best For
Real-time previewing on slower devices.
Visual Look
Simple, coarse diffusion.
Recommended Materials
Test scraps, Drafts.
Processing Speed
Very Fast
Pro Tips
Minimal computation mode for quick previews. Use when processing speed is critical. Results are coarser but very fast. Good for testing before final processing.
