They're very closely related and have both been available since Panther.
SIPS (scriptable image processing system/service) is a command line tool
that that links together Quicktime, ColorSync and CoreGraphics.
This means that scripters can target one app for common image operations
rather than have to choose from a lot of applications with overlapping
functions. And being a shell tool you can get to it from the command line,
AppleScript and C.
Image Events is how AppleScripters access SIPS.
Apple had plans to expand the functionality of SIPS so that you could use it
to do things like blurring and sharpening etc. But this hasn't happened and
we now have even more (rather than fewer) confusing methods to do this
(Tiger and Developer Tools required for these links):
<file:///Developer/Applications/Graphics Tools/Core Image Fun House.
app>
<file:///Developer/Applications/Graphics Tools/Quartz Composer.app>
Both great fun but you need to get your obj-c books out if you want to
script Core Image :-(

Via the UI perhaps. But, if you are concerned about colour then maybe you
should stick to Photoshop as colour management is all a bit of a mess in
Panther apps.
