Abstract
A method of compositing two input image components () to form at least one output image component () is disclosed. Each of the image components () is formed of run-based data and categorised by one of a plurality of data types and at least one of the input data types is a non-flat colour or non-flat opacity blend of at least linear degree. An output data type is determined from the input data types and a predetermined compositing operation to be applied to the input image components (). An output run () of the output data type is produced at an area of intersection of the two input runs ().
