There's no more comprehensive and invaluable guide to the use and control of color in digital photography, and print, Web, and multimedia design. This volume brings a fresh perspective to common color problems, explaining exactly how we see color, what the differences are between human and camera perception, and how to work with a color wheel. There's a full discussion of display issues, including monitor calibration and resolution, color palettes, and consistency across varying platforms, operating systems, and software. A skills "toolkit" provides a detailed look at both computer hardware and image-editing software, and a hands-on workshop provides lessons in adjusting skin tones, retouching and restoring archived photos, and dealing with landscapes, fashion, still lifes, and more.
Book was in great condition and the price could not have been better! Would buy from this seller again.

This is a well written guide to color correction and explains many of the things I was wondering about for years. It opens with some general background information and then moves into more theory and examples to reinforce the concepts. It is a good book to read a little at a time since every two pages are basically set up as logical breaks. There are many color photos to help explain concepts and it uses photoshop CS as the program that examples are done in, which was nice. I'm sure that there are many books that go into greater detail, but if you are just looking for a good overview, consider this book.
