I'll try a shot at it. I think of IMAGE PROCESSING as that area of GRAPHICS that concerns itself with projections (usually 2D) of the REAL WORLD. (A lot of graphics work is concerned with SYNTHETIC pictures.) The sorts of processing that we're used to considering "image processing" is enhancehent and/or recognition of what the original real-world object was. This group tends to deal with COMPUTER GRAPHICS and COMPUTER IMAGE PROCESSING, but (as Nitin rightly points out) eyeglasses do image processing of the "enhancement" type, and I know some advertising types who are "graphics" experts and don't know thing one about computers. (This is NOT a proposal to broaden submissions to this group; MY interests are computer graphics. Just pointing out that our use of the language is a little parochial.) As for net.graphics.image, I agree that we ought to wait until there are enough postings that there are complaints of clutter.
