12. A system comprising:
-
a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor; and
wherein the processor, executing a program, overlays a digital graphics object and a digital picture while each of the digital graphics object and the digital picture are in compressed format. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
compressing an uncompressed graphics object to create a compressed graphics object;
thenreplacing a pixel luminance value of a compressed digital picture with a pixel luminance value of the compressed graphics object; and
modifying a chrominance value of the compressed digital picture based on a chrominance value of the compressed graphics object. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

28. A computer readable media storing a program that, when executed by a processor, performs a method comprising:
-
compressing a graphics object to create a compressed graphics object by combining a plurality of chrominance values into a single chrominance value;
calculating a weight factor based on a number luminance values, associated with the plurality of chrominance values, that indicate that the corresponding luminance values in a picture to be overlaid by the graphics object should remain unchanged; and
storing the weight factor within the compressed graphics object. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)
