  • forming an image of a document onto an area sensor;

    the area sensor creating a digital image of the document, the digital image having a first mode;

    selecting a region of the digital image to be modified;

    assigning a second mode different than the first mode to the selected region of the digital image, wherein the second mode is defined by a pixel variation;

    limiting the pixel variation to a minimum pixel variation necessary to support the second mode; and

    storing the modified digital image as a multi-mode image in memory.
