Claim One:
1. One or more computer-readable media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon to enable a computer, having one or more processors and a memory, to perform a method for aggregating curves, said method comprising: identifying, by way of said one or more processors, a first curve and a second curve, wherein said first curve is represented by a first set of input values associated with a first set of output values, and wherein said second curve is represented by a second set of input values associated with a second set of output values; producing, by way of said one or more processors, a third set of output values by performing a forward lookup in which said second curve is applied to at least a portion of said first set of output values; producing, by way of said one or more processors, a third set of input values by performing a reverse lookup to determine a plurality of input values that yield at least a portion of said second set of input values when said first curve is applied to said plurality of input values; generating an aggregated curve, wherein said aggregated curve is represented by at least a portion of said first set of input values associated with at least a portion of said third set of output values, and wherein said aggregated curve is further represented by at least a portion of said third set of input values associated with at least a portion of said second set of output values; storing said aggregated curve on said memory; and creating, by way of said one or more processors, an output image by utilizing said aggregated curve to apply said first curve and said second curve to a digital image.
