ABSTRACT:
A method for obtaining a printed transformed image first obtains high-resolution data in digitized form, as by electro-optical scanning. The high-resolution data is stored in a computer. The data is processed to a "first approximation" image, and the "first approximation" parameters are stored. A grid with respective loci for the first approximation image and the transformed images is defined. The image is duplicated and scaled to fill each locus in the grid. A first parameterizable image processing function is selected. In a first grid, the images in the "transformed" loci are transformed by degrees according to the first selected function. A second parameterizable image processing function is selected. In a second grid, images in the "transformed" loci are transformed by degrees according to the second selected function. The grid with transformations along the first axis and the grid with transformations along the second axis are presented to the user. One image is chosen from each set in the first and second grids. Chosen transformations are merged, the high-resolution data representing the image is transformed according to the merged transformation, and the final image is printed.
