<p>A method to improve the performance of rendering image data (402) by converting what would normally be considered resolution-dependent image behavior into behavior that is substantially resolution-independent. This allows significant performance improvement since the rendering (454) can be performed on the lower-resolution image data used, for example, for on-screen viewing and when the image effect is applied to a higher resolution rendering, the effect, as viewed, is substantially the same as the effect viewed at a lower resolution. This conversion of normally resolution-dependent behaviors into pseudo-resolution-independent behaviors also allows the image effects to be applied to be carried out on a lower resolution image with confidence that when the image is rendered at a higher resolution that the image effects applied will substantially have the same appearance that the effect had at the lower resolution.</p> |
