Posterize effect
The Posterize effect lets you specify the number of tonal levels (or brightness values) for each channel in an image. The Posterize effect then maps pixels to the closest matching level. For example, choosing two tonal levels in an RGB image gives you two tones for red, two tones for green, and two tones for blue. Values range from 2 to 255.
Note: Another way to accomplish much the same result as the applying
the Posterize Time effect to a layer is to precompose the layer,
change the frame rate for the precomposition in the Composition
Settings dialog box, and set Preserve Frame Rate When Nested Or
In Render Queue for the precomposition on the Advanced tab. This causes
the precomposition to retain its own frame rate, and not inherit
those settings from the containing composition.

- The number of tonal levels for each channel.
This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.
