When you draw with lock alpha, it will only affect the rgb channels, not the alpha channel. Meaning, when you draw on transparent pixels, they stay transparent. It's useful for changing the color of something without changing its shape.

Dither becomes noticeable when you change the opacity. It will only draw on a certain amount of pixels (according to the opacity) following a pattern. Through that you can achieve color gradients with less colors. More on dithering in pixel art https://pixelparmesan.com/dithering-for-pixel-artists/
