Abstract
A computing system comprises graphics rendering logic and image processing logic. The graphics rendering logic processes graphics data to render an image using a rendering space which is sub-divided into a plurality of tiles. Cost indication logic obtains a cost indication for each of a plurality of sets of one or more tiles of the rendering space, wherein the cost indication for a set of one or more tiles is suggestive of a cost of processing rendered image values for a region of the rendered image corresponding to the set of one or more tiles. The image processing logic processes rendered image values for regions of the rendered image. The computing system causes the image processing logic to process rendered image values for regions of the rendered image in dependence on the cost indications for the corresponding sets of one or more tiles.
