1. A method for managing a page, comprising: obtaining an electronic document comprising a main object and a first plurality of parameters defining a first effect for the main object; generating, by a computer processor (CP), a display list for the page comprising a plurality of scaled-down graphical primitives corresponding to a scaled-down version of the main object; generating, by the CP, a scaled-down tile comprising the scaled-down version of the main object by rasterizing the plurality of scaled-down graphical primitives; generating, by the CP, an effect tile comprising a scaled-down version of the first effect by applying the first plurality of parameters to the scaled-down tile; rasterizing, by the CP, the effect tile into a framebuffer for the page by up-scaling the effect tile; and outputting the framebuffer for the page.
