 Already outdated? April 5, 2008

Published almost 4 years ago, this book is already pretty outdated.
Good for the basic principles, but the things that were future concepts like multiple ink-sets and pigmented+dye inks couldn't be explained because they weren't really around yet.
Technology moves so fast, it's hard to make books that keep up.

This is the definitive resource on color management for professional creative communities.
Color management is a complex subject akin to rocket science and brain surgery. When you need to know particular details at a level of depth rarely covered elsewhere, this is the place to go. This is your last stop before dipping into color science textbooks.
Despite the high level of information and the wealth of detail covered the text is actually lucid. This is no small feat.
Better graphics would make this an even better book.
Need to know why to specific a white point of D65 when profiling your monitor? This book will explain it. Need to know how to build and edit a printer profile? This book is for you. Need to know how gamma relates to a color space? This is the book. You get the idea.
Also included is an essential sections of the science behind visual perception.
But wait, there's more. The book also covers how color management works within various applications from Adobe Photoshop to Quark Express.
This is an essential reference book for anyone working with digital media.

I received my order very quickly, there weren't any problems with the package, and the book is exactly what I was looking for.

This book must be studied for all who have a color workflow. Designers, photographers and print managers must know what's going on once color's become numbers. It's amazingly easy to read and understand. I'd put it first on my book shelf!!!
