<p>In a video retouching system having an image source (40), a refresh store (42) fed from the image source, and a monitor (46) supplied from the refresh store, an image modifier (44) is interposed between the refresh store and the monitor and is controlled by a modifying store having a multi-bit location for each picture element. The stored multi-bit values may be used, for example to modify the display to obtain a vignetting effect, or to lighten or darken picture elements or modify chrominance. Preferably a mask store (48) having one bit per pixel defines those pixels which may be modified and those which must not be modified. In one form, the store with a multi-bit location for each picture element controls the merging of two images.</p> |
