Summary: FINALLY - An Easy to Understand Color Management Book
Comment: 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.

Summary: The Gospel on Color Management
Comment: These "Three Amigos"(Bruce Fraser, Chris Murphy, Fred Bunting) of color management, are the "desciples" of where color management is going. If you need color management(not everyone does)in your workflow, this is the book to get. From Photoshop to Quark, these "desciples of color management" cover it. They explain how we precieve color, not only from our eyes, but to our color monitors(display colors) to output devices(print colors). Whether it's for inkjet,cmyk or rgb output. This book explains how to build,evaluate and edit profiles. Even if you don't own(or don't want too) profiling software this book can be used to understand how color profiles(profiles in image-editing programs) can(and how)be used for color management systems and programs..... They explain the procedure of using color management for image-editing programs and operating systems.
Their is a difference between "custom" and "canned" profiles(of course)and they explain the pros and cons of each. The book is written for getting the best out of using a color managed workflow. Whether you understand color management or not. This book will lead you to a better understanding of this subject.
