<p>For digital color copying of full color source images, scanned-in by a color scanner (21), full color representations of the source images are processed (23) to extract image characterizing information from them. This image characterizing information is, in turn, employed to index into a plurality of full color-to-highlight color transforms to automatically select the most appropriate one of these transforms (25) for rendering each of the separately characterized regions of the source image. One of the color transforms is the default transform, so it is selected when a more appropriate transform is not available in accordance with a predetermined mapping of the image characterizing information onto the available transforms. Various image processing techniques can be employed to characterize the scanned in representation of the image, including image segmentation and image annotation recognition. <IMAGE></p> |
