摘要:
A method for generating artificial shadow including the steps of receiving an indication of a shadow unprotected area and a shadow protected area, together defining a total shadow area, computing shadow values for each location of the shadow unprotected area based on a shadow pattern which covers the total shadow area, and generating an image characterized in that the shadow values computed in the computing step are assigned only to the shadow unprotected area.
摘要:
A method of manipulating a composite color image defined by a plurality of color separation files, by applying a brush to selected points of the composite color image to be manipulated according to a preselected color manipulation function, and modifying the respective point in each color separation file according to the preselected function, and also according to inputted characteristics of the brush. The preselected function includes, for each point of the composite color image, the color manipulation functions of each color separation file and the influences of each such file on the remaining files. Each color separation file is modified according to the inputs from all the color separation files, as well as from the preselected manipulation function and the inputted brush characteristics.
摘要:
A system and method for artwork design and production is disclosed. The system includes an artwork preparation administrator (100) and a plurality of operation units (102 to 112) each of which performs at least one of a multiplicity of different artwork preparation tasks. The administrator (100) includes a workflow manager (114) and a workflow definition unit (116) for managing the production of a user-defined workflow having a multiplicity of artwork preparation tasks. The workflow manager (114) includes a) apparatus for initiating operation of selected operation units, b) apparatus for receiving and processing task information from the selected operation units when they perform one of the artwork preparation tasks and c) apparatus for producing a process list. The process list includes processed task information from at least one of the artwork preparation tasks and is ordered in accordance with a portion of the workflow which has at least one artwork preparation task therein.
摘要:
A method of processing a file of recorded color separation values of color elements for use in preparing polychromatic printing plates in order to reduce or eliminate defects caused by misregistration by printing, includes the steps: (a) defining a plurality of predetermined color types; (b) identifying the color pairs where there is a change in color between adjacent color elements; and (c) for each color pair, determining whether or not to make a frame according to first predetermined criteria based on specific combination of color types in the pair, and then according to second predetermined criteria based on the difference in luminance between corresponding color separations in the respective pair. For those color pairs in which a frame is to be generated, the location of the frame is determined according to third predetermined criteria based on specific combinations of color types in the pair, and then according to fourth predetermined criteria based on the sum of the luminances of each color in the color pair.
