ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for processing a digital image. The digital image is modified at a location within the image. The modification causes a change of a first local attribute of the image at the location. The change of the first attribute is measured at the location. A second attribute of the image is adjusted at the location based on the measured change of the first local attribute, where the second attribute is different from the first attribute.
