Creating Custom Combinator Skins
Utilities
Combinator Backdrop Toolkit
The Combinator Backdrop Toolkit consists of two Adobe Photoshop® compatible plug-ins that convert the colours in an image to 15-bits (5 bits / channel). One plug-in simply converts a colour to its nearest 15-bit neighbour, the other applies a rough noise dither which makes colour transitions smoother. The effect is similar to converting an image to 8-bit for GIF exporting.

There are two versions of the typeface, Open and Solid, to give the designer more flexibility when using this typeface. This typeface is optimised for use at 10px and 70px.

Like the music that we create with this wonderful product, the artwork we create must be embraced with the same passion.
