Abstract
A program storage device is readable by a machine, which tangibly embodies a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for modifying color of an image captured in a digitized, color form. The method comprises the steps of sequentially modifying each portion of the image by a color matrix; determining when a portion of the modified image contains a predetermined fluorescent level; and further modifying only the portion of the image containing the predetermined fluorescent level by varying a fluorescent modification factor until a desired fluorescent level is obtained.
