  • Color compositing using transparency groups
    Patent number: 7893950
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer programs, for processing transparency attributes of digital graphics objects. The techniques result in the color compositing of an arbitrary structure of artwork elements defining the appearance of a page to produce a result color at any position on the page that is continuous with respect to all inputs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 16, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 22, 2011
    Assignee: Adobe Systems Incorporated
    Inventor: Pierre Louveaux

  • Method and apparatus for painting groups of objects
    Patent number: 7602396
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program apparatus, implementing techniques for processing digital artwork. In one aspect, the techniques process aggregations of artwork where both the aggregation and at least some of the aggregated artwork have attached styles. The techniques handle various combinations of conditions resulting in applying style elements to the aggregation before or after applying style elements to underlying artwork. In another aspect, the techniques implement editable path objects having multiple attached fills and/or strokes. The techniques provide user interfaces for using the foregoing features.
    Type: Grant
