Hi Dan,
I think you have got me there, because I just don't know the answer.
On it's own, the plugin will not always smooth a gradient of tone without producing 'steps' as can be seen in the background of this image which is a smooth transition from light to dark. I have spoken with Art about this and he feels that the cause is mathematical in nature.
Once an image has been 'halftoned' this does not happen, the gradient is much smoother.
As for why ? hopefully I will eventually discover the reason but for the moment it illudes me.
Tweakie.
