Abstract
A method of processing a color digital image file provides a 'metallic,' or a 'sepia,' or an “antiqued” image file. The resulting image files may be viewed, for example, on a computer monitor, or may be printed out in hard copy form using a black-and-white or color printer. A color photocopy machine which has a digital image output may be used to produce the original image file, and such a color photocopier (if it will accept digital image files), may also be used to produce the output hard copy printouts of processed image files. Thus, such a digital photocopier may be configured internally to also process image files, and may be employed to selectively process images copied on the machine into the user's choice of a metallic, a sepia, or an antiqued image on the output hardcopy of the color photocopier.
