  Book Information

The second book in this acclaimed series from noted
photographer and digital imaging expert Eddie Tapp delves
into color management, a topic that has needlessly become a
mystery to experienced digital photographers, whether
they're avid amateurs, serious students, or working
professionals. With his easygoing yet authoritative style,
Eddie sheds light on this topic and supplies an
understanding of color management that readers apply to
their own work.

Clear and concise, this highly visual book explains how
color management is a part of the overall photographic
workflow. Eddie demonstrates the three stages of color
managed workflow, from choosing a color space, to
calibrating your devices, to applying appropriate profiles,
and shows you exactly what you need to know and why you need
to know it. Color management scientist Rick Lucas
contributes a chapter on the hard-core technical aspects.
Other books on color management are much too long, involved
and intimidating. This absorbing book sets the right tone
and supplies you with key answers quickly.

Our Eddie Tapp on Digital Photography book series brings you
the focused knowledge you need on specific areas of digital
photography. Acknowledged as one of the premier trainers of
digital imaging in the world, Eddie brings his teaching
experience to bear on issues that other books gloss over or
bury under general coverage. Now, you don't have to buy a
doorstop-sized book to get the key information you need on
color management, efficient workflow, or a variety of other
specific digital imaging topics.
Eddie Tapp on Digital Photography also covers workflow
setup; advanced and professional production techniques;
controlling digital color and tone; creative enhancement
techniques; and more. This series is a perfect complement to
O'Reilly's general list on Photoshop and digital
photography, and offers you focused books that cover
technical issues at prices that are affordable and solutions
that are quickly accessible. We're thrilled that Eddie Tapp
has finally agreed to publish books -- and with O'Reilly.
