Abstract
An electronic image composition system in which in a preview mode of operation an image or image portion is manipulated and displayed substantially in real-time. In a compositing mode the image is finally composed (or stuck) into a background image. During the previewing stage, only a selected number of pixels representing the image are transformed and the remainder are derived from said transformed pixels by filtering or, preferably, replication.
