Posterization or posterisation of an image entails conversion of a continuous gradation of tone to several regions of fewer tones, with abrupt changes from one tone to another. This was originally done with photographic processes to create posters. It can now be done photographically or with digital image processing, and may be deliberate or an unintended artifact of color quantization.

Scope note
Hõbeželatiinfotode ja kromogeenfotode kopeerimise eritehnika, millega saadakse erinevate tooniastmetega graafilist laadi pilt. Tulemus saavutatakse originaalnegatiivist registri abil kontaktkopeerimise teel diapositiive ja vahenegatiive valmistades ning neist vastavaid särituskestusi valides fotopaberile positiivi kopeerides.
