The Knoll algorithm, associated with Photoshop co-creator John Knoll, creates a distinctive stipple or matrix texture that can give an artistic, hand-drawn look to laser engravings. It clumps pixels in a way that resembles traditional stipple illustration, so it suits artistic projects, canvas, rough paper, and wood where you want a crafted rather than photorealistic feel. It is a medium-speed algorithm and a strong choice when the goal is a recognizable "art" style rather than invisible dithering.
