The Eighth Color Imaging Conference Returns to Scottsdale
July 28, 2000
-- The annual Color Imaging Conference (CIC) is the worlds premier technical conference for people working in the areas of color science
and color engineering, and those who apply these disciplines to color products and color imaging technologies such as digital photography, image
processing, color display design, data visualization, and image processing. For the eighth year in a row, the conference will be held in Scottsdale, Arizona,
this year from November 7 to 10 at The SunBurst Resort Hotel. CIC8 is sponsored by the Society for Information Display (SID) and the Society for
Imaging Science & Technology (IS&T).
The event kicks off with a day of tutorials and how-to workshops. The eleven planned tutorials include Color in Hardcopy and Displays, Internet and Web
Color, and Digital Photography. Among the four planned how-to workshops are Writing Photoshop Plug-ins and Understanding PDF and PostScript.
Beginning Wednesday, November 8, there are three days of invited and contributed presentations again organized in a single track to encourage broad
