Abstract
A system for generating compensation pixel data for pixel data having adjacent values. The compensation pixel data is the pixel data adjusted by a value in order to perform an effect with the pixel data. The system has a comparator for determining whether the pixel data varies between adjacent values. Furthermore, the system includes a look-up table in communication with the comparator. The look-up table replaces the subsequent value of the pixel data with the compensation pixel data only when the preceding value of the pixel data is different than the subsequent value thereby reducing the number of look-ups for the compensation pixel data.
