A graphics processing apparatus (2) performs tile based compositing operations. Tile metadata includes flag data (tfd), such as transparency and/or intensity flag data, indicating whether a given input graphics tile make less than a predetermined first threshold level of contribution or more than a second predetermined threshold level of contribution to a corresponding output graphics tile. For example, if an input graphics tile is transparent, then its reading from a memory (6) and/or subsequent processing may be suppressed. If a given input graphics tile is opaque, then any underlying input graphics tiles were are obscured may have their reading and/or further processing suppressed. |
