1. A method for controlling a width of one or more image objects, the method comprising: for each pixel in at least a portion of an image, selecting the pixel as a target pixel; determining if the target pixel is associated with an image object that is a candidate for width control, and if the target pixel is associated with an image object that is a candidate for width control: determining at least one original width of the image object; determining at least one centroid of the image object; determining at least one width change for the image object based on the at least one original width; and determining a new value for the target pixel based on at least one of the determined at least one width change and a position of the target pixel relative to the determined at least one centroid, thereby controlling the width of the image object.
