Executive summary: Halftone process In 1886, photographer Frederic Eugene Ives introduced a halftone process of photoengraving, wherein photographs are broken down to tiny dots of varying size but uniform spacing, creating the illusion of subtle shading. This half-tone process is still used in newspapers, offset copy machines, and laser printers. Ives also invented the photochromoscope camera, which produced a three-color negative, and he did extensive work with color and stereoscopic photography simulating three-dimensional imagery, including several early 3-D motion picture shorts. His son, Herbert E. Ives, was a leading force in the development of color television and facsimile transmission systems. Father: Herbert Ives (b. 24-Aug-1833, d. 11-Feb-1868)
