A method is provided for performing optical proximity correction ("OPC") verification in which features of concern of a photomask are identified using data relating to shapes of the photomask, an aerial image to be obtained using the photomask, or a photoresist image to be obtained in a photoimageable layer using the photomask. A plurality of areas of the photomask, aerial image or photoresist image are identified which incorporate the identified features of concern, where the plurality of identified areas occupy substantially less area than the total area of the photomask that is occupied by features. Enhanced OPC verification limited to the plurality of identified areas is then performed to identify problems of at least one of the photomask, aerial image or photoresist image.
