In issue #25 we spoke about Retropixels, a really great tool for converting modern image formats to the color palette of old 8-bit machines.

In principle exactly the same concept was implemented by Richard Nagyfi with his project Super Pyxelate.

Pyxelate is developed in Python and the tool is currently going into its second, somewhat faster iteration. The special thing about it is that the reduced color palette is computed using an unsupervised learning approach. Four dithering mechanisms are available, and the results of Pyxelate are more than just respectable. 

The current version does not (yet) have a CLI, but with a few lines of Python a batch processing can be set up very easily.

The results are convincing in their quality. It would certainly be exciting to convert a whole movie sequence frame by frame into the 8-bit style with Pyxelate.
