Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for exporting metadata from an image capture device, for example a scanner, preferably using a standard application programming interface. The metadata may be associated with a pixel, a page, or a region/object of the image, and could be used by an application, for example, to improve the quality of the image when printed or to facilitate the conversion from a single layer of image information to multi-mask mixed raster content (MRC).
