Access: Nodes > Math > Quantize
Reduces the input to a fixed number of discrete steps, like a posterize effect applied per channel. At Levels = 2 you get a hard black-and-white threshold; at Levels = 8 you get 8 bands. Very useful for cel/toon shading and debugging gradient flows.
Reduces the input to a fixed number of discrete steps; a per-channel posterize effect.
