                   Before THOMAS, KRASS, and BARRETT, Administrative Patent Judges.                                                    
                   KRASS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                                 
                                                     DECISION ON APPEAL                                                                
                           This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of claims 1 through 6, all of the                     
                   claims pending in the application.  The examiner now holds claim 4 to be directed to                                
                   allowable subject matter, the claim being merely objected to.   Accordingly,  there is no                           
                   longer a rejection of claim 4 before us on appeal.                                                                  
                           The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for image enhancement.                                  
                   Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
