A method for image encoding is proposed. Said method is a method for encoding a block of an image using a reference block of a further image and comprises the steps of extracting, from the block, a first block of a first colour component, determining said reference block such that a first colour component reference block extracted from said reference block matches said first block best and using at least a part of the remainder of said reference block for encoding at least a part of the remainder of said block. The reference block having a first colour component, which matches the first colour component of the block to-be-encoded, often is a well suited starting point for search for a reference block for a remaining colour component, or if more than one colour component remain, for one or all of the remaining colour components, too. |
