An image processor converts a multiple gray-level image to a bi-tonal image using both error diffusion and ordered dither to enhance image quality. The error diffusion process is attenuated smoothly as the local area intensity approaches a light or dark maximum, while the ordered dither process is attenuated smoothly as the local area high spatial frequency content increases.
