Crop-to-fill only: steer faces and details away from the solid squares.

Code

Error correction

Quiet border (modules)

Keep alignment squares solid (more reliable)

Square color

Border & light color

Colors the solid squares and quiet border. Keep them strongly dark-on-light - the hint below will warn you if they drift too close.

Luminance blend

Stamp strength - 55%

The tutorial's "50% opacity" knob: how hard each data pixel is pushed toward black or white.

Guaranteed contrast - 32%

Safety net: clamps every stamp to a minimum dark/light split. 0 = pure tutorial mode.

Re-saturate stamps - +35%

Tutorial step 7: the luminance shift washes out color; this puts some back.

Camouflage

Add noise pixels between data pixels (step 6)

Noise amount - 30%

Touch-up (step 8)

Click or drag directly on the preview to clear stamps from areas of the art you want untouched. Error correction absorbs a few missing pixels.

0 erased

Output

Cell size - 8 px per art pixel

Photoshop layer export (do the blend by hand)

Pure black & white layers matching the tutorial's downloads. Composite them yourself: squares on top, data pixels set to Luminosity ≈ 50% opacity.
