Lets try this again:

Does this look like the right settings?

------>>EDIT<<----- LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME!

Are there any definition on what "Dither" and "Amount" do somewhere?

You could google it or check photoshop's help. Amount simply changes the strength of the dither.

dither is a very simple concept, justa tad hard to eplain. basically it allows an image to contain less colours. Let's supose we have a gradient that goes smoothly from black to white. it may use a lot of colours, maybe the full 256 shades of gray. You could dither this down as far as 2 colours. now the image can only contain black and white, so the computer will create a sort of pattern of black and white dots which, if done preoperly, will fool the eye and you may not even notice it's dithered. Try it yourself:

make a black-to-white gradient, save it. save it again as a dithered gif with 2 colours. then open this gif and zoom way in. You'll notice quite a difference compared with the non-dithered one.
