Abstract
A system changes the setpoint of a digital reprographic system in response to the local image content by utilizing tag data that contains information identifying the image content type of a corresponding image data pixel. The system modifies the reproduction characteristics of the output to accommodate the diverse image content types by simultaneously controlling the overall tone reproduction curve of the system on a pixel-by-pixel basis.
