 Real world techniques to tackle color management September 25, 2005

Thanks Andrew Rodney, I just received your new book and I just couldn't wait to thank you for having made all this knowledge available to us. This book will be a milestone on the subject of color management as it dares to go into the nitty-gritty details of "how to make it work in real life".

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.
Color Management for Photographers September 5, 2005

One word for this book - Excellent. In my first half hour with this book, I found a half a dozen things that I had mis-interpreted in other texts on the subject of color management. This author takes the time to go over the important fine detail. I can't wait to go through the tutorials and case studies. Thanks Andrew!

Andrew Rodney (known to many as the Digital Dog) has been dealing with color management for long enough that it was about time he put his experience and perspective into a book. Color Management for Photographers is a good mix of color theory, functional color management tasks and practical application in Photoshop. I always say you can't learn color from dialog boxes so the theory, utilities, case studies and tutorials are an essential but often overlooked part of getting color under control. Rodney is one of the few people who really "get" color management and has been tirelessly posting answers and admonitions to online mailing lists and forums for years. I'm glad to see he's compiled the many pearls of wisdom into a reference for photographers and other color users. This book gets added to our must-read list.
