ABSTRACT:
A method for multi-toning an input digital image having input pixels with two or more color channels to form an output digital image having modified output levels. The method includes producing an error signal for each color channel, combining the error signals to produce a combined error signal, sorting the error signals to produce a set of sorted error signals, and determining modified output levels responsive to the set of sorted error signals and the combined error signal.
