FINALLY - An Easy to Understand Color Management Book,
By
This review is from: Real World Color Management (Paperback)
This is the most thorough, and easy-to-understand book on color management that I've ever seen. They start with some color theory, but don't bog down on the technical, like some other books I've seen. They explain the color management and profile process, then tell you how to build profiles for various devices. They spend six (!) chapters on building and editing profiles. There are separate chapters for measurement & calibration, displays, input devices, output devices, etc. As an example, they cover the steps and procedures to profile RGB inkjet printers, CMYK inkjets, CMYK color lasers, CMYK solid inks, Dye-sub printers, and much more. That process has always seemed like a bunch of mumbojumbo to me, but I found their explanations to be easy to follow. They explain the need for the right lighting in the room where you proof and print and how color shifts can occur. Then, they deal with applications and workflow. Chapter twelve covers the Adobe Color architecture. subsequent chapters deal with separate apps like Freehand, Corel Draw, QuarkXPress and PDF. They explain Colorsync and ICM color management systems. And there is a nice discussion about WHEN in the process to convert the color profile of an image. The appendices have some very useful info on profiles and workflows. It's a bit pricey, but if you NEED color management, it is worth it.

A Must for Serious Graphic Designers,
By teokali (san diego, ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real World Color Management (Paperback)
Ever wonder how to make your prints match what you actually see on screen? This book not only explains how to do it, but why it's never going to be absolutely perfect. With reviews of modern calibration equiptment and profile adjustment for every design program from Photoshop to QuarkXPress, this is exactly the tool you need to bring your CRT monitor to life.
