If the number of colors in the image is not reduced to match the phone capabilities, the image will be
dithered by the phone and yield less than desirable results in most cases. To reduce the number of colors
in a graphics editing program, such as Adobe Photoshop, use the “Posterize” command. The “Posterize”
command takes one value as input for the number of color tones per color channel. For example, using
the value of 16 (4-bits per channel = 16 tones per channel) will correctly dither the color palette of the
image for the best display results on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970G.
