Product Description

The digital age of art has made it easier than ever for an artist to change what his work will look like when complete. Subtle changes in color composition can be made many times to achieve an ideal image. However, masterful color management is about more than knowing how to use the tools offered by your image editor. It's about understanding how to visualize your final image before you begin editing it - seeing your image as you want others to see it. Mastering Digital Color is designed to help you master the skills needed to realize your vision, using color management tools available in the digital world. It presents techniques of practicality and results. By focusing on the practical aspects of color management, this fullcolor book enables you to more clearly visualize the connections between concept and result, bringing the art that you have envisioned to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Practical Reference for Digital Color, February 23, 2009

By	David Saffir (www.davidsaffir.com) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I looked at this one review, which is anonymous. You can read excerpts from the book at the author's web
site - that should settle the issue.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too simple and too much fluff, August 26, 2008

I was really disappointed in this book. Way too many screen captures of software tools for color management, and too little on concepts and ideas.
