Review of Color Management for Photographers: Hands on Techniques for Photoshop Users (Paperback)

There are entirely too many books like this.100 pages of information hidden in clouds of personal chatter, name dropping and cliches.Too bad because this is an important area that is almost completely misunderstood.This material should be presented to experienced photographers at an engineering level.It isn't an "all you have to do is..." subject.

If you don't know anything about color, the first 30 pages of this book might help.If you know a lot about photography this book will irritate you, especially when the author runs aground on the subject of Gamma, as so many others have.There is excellent information on the Web that covers this subject so well, nobody needs to misunderstand it.

If you already us Photoshop CS2 and Camera RAW you don't need this book.If you don't use them, you should.Then go to the Adobe website and pick up the white papers by Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe.They are free, very well written and focussed on how Photoshop works and what you need to know.

I would recommend anything written by Blatner & Fraser, or Schewe.Add your own experience and just do it.You'll be better off.
