Eddie Tapp, Rick Lucas9780596527686, 0596527683

The second book in this series from noted photographer and digital imaging expert Eddie Tapp delves into color management, a topic that has needlessly become a mystery to experienced digital photographers, whether they’re avid amateurs, serious students, or working professionals. Yet, with his easygoing and authoritative style, Eddie sheds light on this topic and supplies answers that are quick to find when you need them most. This clear and concise book explains how color management is a part of the overall photographic workflow. Eddie shows you exactly what you need to know and why you need to know it, and demonstrates the three stages of color managed workflow, including calibration versus profiling. Color management scientist Rick Lucas provides expertise on the hard-core technical aspects, and the book’s appendix offers the newly released Universal Photographic Digital Imaging Guidelines (UPDIG). Other books on color management are much too long, involved and intimidating. This absorbing book sets the right tone and supplies you with key answers quickly.
