Abstract
A waveform monitor for generating a modified image from an original image includes a brightness measuring system to generate brightness values that are then converted to f-stop equivalents. A selector is used to create a range of f-stop values and a modifier changes the original image for selected pixels that fall within the range of f-stop values. The original image may be modified by replacing or blending certain pixels with colorized pixels, i.e., by falsely coloring the original image. Methods of modifying images in this manner are also described.
