A method of processing an image to reduce false granularity, or "aliasing", resulting from the reproduction of edges using fixed size pixels. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, certain pixels adjacent to black pixels corresponding to an edge are set to a gray level. The setting of certain pixels to a gray level involves detecting a pattern in a block of pixels by detecting subpatterns within the block of pixels.
