Palette Application

Substitute

Replaces the current palette with the imported palette. Indexed colors are not changed, they are simply mapped to the new colors in the imported palette.

Match

Replaces the current palette with the imported palette by re-mapping the indexed colors to the closest colors in the imported palette.

Dither

Replaces the current palette with the imported palette by re-mapping the indexed colors to the closest colors in the imported palette. Unlike matching, dithering can have different results when an indexed color from the original image is equally similar to two or more colors from the imported palette. In this case, a pixel which once displayed a single color might be represented as a group of pixels displaying the target colors.
