First Claim
1. The method of providing a print preview representation of a document which, when printed, has at least one region the appearance of which is dependent on viewing conditions under which the printed document is viewed, the method comprising, in a processing system:
- a) generating a print preview representation of the document, said print preview representation being associated with the viewing conditions; and
b) animating the appearance of the at least one region in the print preview representation by applying a scattering filter to thereby simulate a change in the appearance of the printed document in accordance with a change in the viewing conditions.

Abstract
A method of providing a print representation of a document which, when printed, has at least one region the appearance of which is dependent on viewing conditions. The method comprises generating a representation of the document and then modifying the appearance of the at least one region to thereby simulate the appearance of the document when printed. This is achieved by animating the representation of the at least one region or at least partially combining the at least one region with an image.

21. An apparatus for providing a print preview representation of a document which, when printed, has at least one region the appearance of which is dependent on viewing conditions under which the printed document is viewed, the apparatus comprising a processing system configured to:
-
a) generate a print preview representation of the document, said print preview representation being associated with the viewing conditions; and b) animate the appearance of the at least one region in the print preview representation by applying a scattering filter to thereby simulate the appearance of the printed document in accordance with a change in the viewing conditions.

22. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for use in providing a print preview representation, the computer-readable medium comprising executable code which when executed on a suitable processing system causes the processing system to:
-
a) generate a print preview representation of the document, said print preview representation being associated with the viewing conditions; and b) animate the appearance of the at least one region in the print preview representation by applying a scattering filter to thereby simulate a change in the appearance of the printed document in accordance with a change in the viewing conditions.
