Hi Frank,

thanks for your help! :)
Yes, Gimp would be one possibility...but I forgot to mention, that
I am looking for a command line tool...
I want to do 'mass dithering' and want neither a gui nor a 
heavy program like The Gimp.

I checked pbmplus and found no useful part for that porpuse...

Cheers
Meino

The obvious answer Gimp has three methods. Open your photo, select Image →
Mode → Indexed. Select 1 bit colour depth and choose between the dithering
methods at the bottom of the dialog.
