Color Confidence is a practical, results-oriented book that gives
photographers the knowledge they need to manage color effectively
from capture to output. Digital imaging expert Tim Grey designed
this book for busy photographers who want to get results without
wading through tons of information about color
science—distilling the most important concepts into
real-world use. He teaches only the theory that photographers must
know to understand how color management works, and focuses on the
practical information they need to make decisions when working with
their images: the actual processes that achieve the best results
possible.
In this new edition of the very first practical guide to color
management, readers will find out how to quickly get predictable
color results across all devices–from cameras, monitors, and
printers, to scanners and raster image processors (RIPs). Updated
with new information on Photoshop, RIP technology, and calibration,
this results-oriented book is a must for all serious
photographers.
