Claim:
1. A method comprising: determining one or more texture regions having detected texture in a first image; generating a mask image from the first image based on the detected texture regions, wherein the one or more texture regions are distinguished in the mask image from other regions of the first image that do not have detected texture, wherein the mask image includes multiple values, wherein each value of the mask corresponds to a pixel of the image, and each value of the mask indicates an amount by which the one or more adjustment operations are to be applied to the corresponding pixel of the image, wherein the mask image includes values indicating to apply the one or more adjustment operations by a greater amount to the detected texture regions and values indicating to apply the one or more adjustment operations by a lesser amount to the other regions of the first image not having detected texture; and applying, using a computer graphics processing device, one or more adjustment operations to the first image in amounts based on the values of the mask image.
