Dithering at the pixel level on a retina screen is quite something. I quite like the style on some pictures, not so on others. They have a weird modern old-fashioned look and the individual dots are not as distracting as in actually old pictures.
Thanks. I originally just wanted pixel-to-pixel dithering (quite difficult with modern browsers and retina class displays) but after I saw the results I knew I needed to add lower resolutions as well. It looks really good with some images, especially photos with lots of details - almost like a high-quality printed magazine. However you are right that the extra detail can be distracting to the eye.
