Abstract

Method and apparatus for performing halftoning of an image, using two 2-dimensional look up tables (LUTS). The first LUT receives coordinates of an image value and outputs a screen reference value which then serves, together with the image value as address for the second LUT. The output of the second LUT is the halftone value.
