All successful imaging systems employ some form of color management
for previewing, controlling and adjusting color throughout the
image-production process. Today’s increasingly complex
systems pose challenging problems: they must support numerous
devices and media having disparate color properties, and they also
must provide for the interchange of images among dissimilar
systems. In this book, the authors address and solve these problems
using innovative methods of representing color in the digital
domain.
The second edition of this popular book explains the
capabilities and limitations of existing color management systems
and provides comprehensive practical solutions for communicating
color within and among imaging systems, from the simplest to the
most complex. Beginning with the fundamentals of color and human
color perception, the book progresses to in-depth analyses of the
nature of color images, digital color encoding, color management
systems and digital color interchange. Fully revised and updated,
this second edition of Digital Color Management features new
and expanded coverage including:
* electronic displays and electronic imaging systems;
* scene-based and appearance-based color encoding methods;
* color management for digital cinema;
* a Unified Paradigm–a comprehensive, integrated
color-managed environment for the color-imaging industry;
* four new chapters, two new appendices, and more than 80 new
figures.
This book is an essential resource for engineers, programmers
and imaging professionals designing and engineering color-imaging
systems and for others simply looking to increase their
understanding of the field. Scientists, researchers, advanced
undergraduates and graduate students involved in imaging technology
also will find this book of significant interest and
usefulness.
Reviews for the first edition:
‘The absence of unnecessary jargon, the impeccable writing
style, the material depth leads only to one conclusion: If you buy
one digital color book this year, buy this one.’ W.
David Schwaderer, Digital Camera Magazine
‘It [Digital Color Management] fulfils the need among
engineers and scientists for a comprehensive understanding of color
management, imaging, media, viewing conditions, appearance and
communication.’ Arthur S. Diamond, Imaging News

关于作者
Edward J. Giorgianni, Research Fellow, Eastman Kodak Company (EJG) and Thomas E. Madden, Research Associate, Eastman Kodak Company (TEM)
Edward J. Giorgianni and Thomas E. Madden are imaging scientists at Eastman Kodak Company. Together, they have more than 60 years of practical experience in designing photographic, electronic, and hybrid color-imaging systems. They hold numerous patents in the fields of color management and imaging technology. Among their inventions are the digital color-encoding methods used on many commercial imaging systems, including the Photo CD System.
They are the authors of the textbook Digital Color Management: Encoding Solutions, 1998, 0201634260, Addison Wesley and contributors to four other books on color science and color imaging. In addition, both authors are award-winning instructors and frequent lecturers at technical symposia and universities. Their extensive writing and teaching experience are evident in the first edition of this book, which has been highly praised for making complex subject matter and concepts clear and understandable.
