Abstract
In a method and an apparatus for processing an image, a small screen dot pattern is prepared. A large screen dot pattern is generated by copying or repeatedly reading out the small screen dot pattern. Data of a variable tone image are processed with the large screen dot pattern and are thereby converted into processed image data representative of a screen dot image. The screen dot image may be recorded in a suitable way.
