Color printing systems frequently use multiresolution analysis, which creates intermediate lower resolution images, in applications such as descreening and filtering. The typical steps are to decompose the original image into sub bands, apply the application to one or more sub bands and then recompose the image, prior to color correction and color space transformation. This disclosure describes applying the color correction to one of the lower resolution sub bands and a simpler color space transformation to the final image as a way to reduce the amount of computation. The described multiresolution analysis is a wavelet transform.
