An improved method and apparatus for calibrating halftone output images is provided which calibrates subsequent halftone input images with varying imagesetter outputs such as image resolutions, exposure intensities and screen frequencies. Calibration is programmably achieved by programmably selecting a specific calibration set for each corresponding uncalibrated halftone input image. The selected calibration set and mapping transfer function automatically compensates or adjusts the uncalibrated input image for any value of resolution, intensity and screen frequency to produce a calibrated halftone output image in either positive or negative sense output and usable on either paper or film photographic medium. Once the calibrated halftone output is programmably produced, it can then be photoprocessed according to conventional chemical processing means. The present invention represents a substantial improvement in precision and speed by which halftone output images are calibrated in the typeset industry.

A case apparatus attachable to a portable device enabling the storage and transport of a variety of articles. The apparatus is optimally configured with releasable components enabling interchange of various features including those which facilitate attachment to the device allowing a single case implementation to securely fit various device implementations. The apparatus includes a large utility panel which receives attachment of all other case components, smaller utility panels which receive attachment of various articles, compartment enclosures which cover the smaller utility panels while allowing easy access to their contents, a large presentation panel to cover and conceal the entire case assembly and contained contents but having openings to allow access to the compartment enclosures and either a strap and clasp retention assembly to bind the case around the device or a clip fastening assembly which attaches to corresponding fittings on an adapted device to fasten the case to the device.

A method and apparatus for calibrating images output from an image generating device is provided which produces calibrated output images from uncalibrated input images, for various values of controllable imaging parameters that affect image calibration, such as, image resolution, exposure intensity and screen frequency. Calibration is achieved by programmably selecting a particular calibration set from a plurality of calibration sets in order to programmably adjust uncalibrated input images for various values of the controllable imaging parameters, in order to produce calibrated output images in either positive or negative sense.
