 Excellent Resource for Digital Photography Color Management August 30, 2008
I had my library order this book for me, because I've been too often disappointed by titles like this. After renewing it the maximum number of times, I am now purchasing my own copy. This is a book that you'll want close at hand if you are serious about improving your color management skills. And - regarding the one review that called the book "useless" - that person must have been looking for magic. There is vital basic information in this volume that you definitely need in order to do your own color correction. That information will be transferrable to programs other than PhotoShop, although not in a precise step-by-step fashion. If you don't plan on purchasing a serious photo editing package, then you don't need to worry about getting serious about color management, and you don't need this excellent book!
 Not What I Expected March 6, 2008
4 out of 9 found this review helpful
I purchased this book on recommendation from a teacher of a point-and-shoot digital camera class. Imagine my surprise, on receiving the book, to find that it is in reality an advanced color correction manual for Adobe Photoshop CS2.
This book would be invaluable if I intended to invest in that program. Since I do not, it was a big waste of money.
I don't feel the description here completely covered the fact that the book is practically useless if you don't own Photoshop. If you do, fine, you'll love it. If, like me, you don't, then continue browsing and pass it by.
