Abstract
An image simulation method and system which is capable of preparing images in a simple way by running image editing tools without programming by a compiler language. The image simulation system includes a computer system for preparing an embedded image in a way that parts of a digital image or the image textures or patterns are embedded in any of several digital background images, with its geometrical shape deformed, or with color data changed as needed, or for preparing an image, color data of which are changed at particular portions thereof. The system further includes circuitry for changing the geometrical shape in preparing the embedded image, for changing the color data, for designating embedding positions, and for storing selection data for the image to be embedded, selection data for the background image, and control data for the images and such processes, and for reproducing the images on the basis of the data set up in advance.
