Dithering Option is only available in black and white devices such as Palm m500 and m125. Such devices can only display 16 levels of gray scale. When viewing photo images, it is common the "banding" effect would occure. Enabling dithering can remove the banding effect and make the image appears a lot smoother. However, dithering is needed when displaying line art images, such as stock charts.

Without Dithering

With Dithering

Brightness Panel:

Many digital cameras are specially susceptible to dark environments. If photos are shot under low-light situation, such as indoors, the image would come out much darker. Making images hard to see. Brightness Panel allows to adjust the image brightness without modifying the image itself. Making reverting the image brightness possible.

Not only brightness adjustment helps viewing images, but it also helps to view images better. Some LCD screen on particular Palm devices appear to have incorrect color. For example, Sony CLIE T600 users may find Red color too weak. Just make the red brightness stronger can help improving the image quality.
