Digital imagery and digital color are everywhere, yet operating a color-managed system has remained a mystery... until now! Fresh from pioneering work in color algorithms for FujiFilm, Dr. Abhay Sharma explains the basics of color science and color measurement, and provides an in-depth look at the range of measuring instruments available to the end-user. International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles are discussed in great detail and procedures for profiling scanners, digital cameras, computer monitors, inkjet printers, and printing presses are thoroughly described- making this book the definitive guide to color management.
I skipped entire chapters and marked up others quite a bit, based on my own previous knowledge and end use. This book touches on the main aspects of color for printing, viewing on a monitor, and color visualization. A good intro for people with some understanding of color perception and digital image manipulation. I read an older version, published in 2004, so specific software and hardware information was laughably out of date, but the concepts remain the same in 2018.
