A method and apparatus for adapting a digital representation of a first color image for output representation by an output device having spatial and color characteristics are disclosed. The apparatus includes apparatus for modifying the spatial characteristics of the digital representation of the first color image and the color characteristics of the first color image to correspond to the spatial and color characteristics of the output device such that, in an output representation, the color characteristics of the first color image would be substantially preserved. The method includes the step of modifying the spatial characteristics of the digital representation of the first color image and the color characteristics of the first color image to correspond to the spatial and color characteristics of the output device such that, in an output representation, the color characteristics of the first color image would be substantially preserved.

Apparatus and techniques for processing of data such as color images

A technique employing a plotter having a beam of variable intensity for generating a screened reproduction of an image including the steps of: providing a representation of an original containing information representing the input density values of the image, storing information in a screen memory and exposing a recording medium to record the screened reproduction of the image, the step of exposing including the step of: employing information stored in the screen memory and information representing the input density values of the image to determine non-arithmetically whether and at what intensity a laser is to be operated to expose the recording medium at a given location.
