Posterization | Cause & Photographic process | formats such as JPEG can also result in posterization when a smooth gradient of colour or luminosity is compressed into discrete quantized blocks with stepped gradients. The result may be compounded further by an optical illusion, called the Mach band illusion, in which each band appears to have an intensity gradient in the direction opposing the overall gradient. This problem may be resolved, in part, with dithering. Photographic process Posterization is a process in photograph development which converts normal photographs into an image consisting of distinct, but flat, areas of different tones or colors.

Often "twin peak" QPOs were found in which two oscillations of roughly the same power appeared at high amplitudes. These higher frequency QPOs may show behavior related to that of the lower frequency QPOs. Measuring black holes QPOs can be used to determine the mass of black holes.
