Created by the merger of PIMA

of the industries they represent have blurred. The Internet, as we all
know, has dramatically increased the demand for, and the value of,
images. And new applications for photographic and imaging technologies
are emerging at an ever-increasing rate. To this dynamic environment,
the I3A brings together two proven forces, delivering the resources and
will to continue to advance the industry in ways that represent the
best interests of our members and the customers they serve. |
