Color Management With Mac OS X First Edition

See all formats and editions

In the not-so-distant past, color reproduction was considered a craft¿one handled by skilled craftspeople using proprietary systems. Today¿thanks to the proliferation of desktop systems and devices¿everyone and their uncle can get their hands in. But the bottom line is this: It¿s still a craft¿and to apply color consistently and correctly across various hardware, software, and output devices, you need this hands-on project based guide. As the only Apple-certified tutorial on the topic, this book cuts through the theory to go straight to the heart of the matter: How to set up a Mac OS X¿based workflow for those situations in which you employ color: photography and image capture, page layout and content creation, and output (to desktop printer or press). Author and color expert Joshua Weisberg distills a complicated process to its step-by-step essentials through a series of lessons and exercises that you can follow while using the files on the companion DVD.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Simple introduction to color management on MacOSX
    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2005
    A fast book you can read in one day, full of large screenshot all in color.

    A step by step book to configure your color workflow in Mac OS X for home or professional, in a only-Mac or Mac-PC office.

    A chapter is for Adobe Suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, In-Design.

    There is also a chapter for a web-based color management.

    Great Book.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Demo applications don't work
    Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2005
    This book has a serious flaw. It includes a demo version of ProfileMaker, which you need to use to create profiles in Lesson 4. Unfortunately, the demo version doesn't actually allow you to create profiles, so you can't complete the lesson! In other words, you really can't use this book unless you spends hundreds more on various software and hardware to actually do the color management.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not too impressed
    Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2005
    At first when I started reading this book, I was amazed at how fast I was flipping through the pages! I loved it and kepts going. The first part of the book explains color and its management within Mac OS X pretty well, I was impressed when I learnt so much about the color sync. untility and other stuff like that. However, the more I read the more I felt like I was going through the chapters a little too fast for my liking. Why? Because I found that a lot of the times the author would repeat what he said before, making it a bit repetitive....

    As much as I do not own a Gretag Macbeth Eye-One or any of those devices that calibrate monitors and other things, I learnt about them in the book. One thing I found odd was that I got pretty much the same information from apple.com's PRO section's online seminars..which was a bummer when I found out.

    Anyways, I'm still a bit confused about color management and might have to indulge in another book for a clearer understanding of it. This book just seemed like it didnt explain everything enough for me to really understand. It's easy to follow and click step by step, its hard to understand what you're really doing so u dont need to refer to a book everytime...

    3.0 out of 5 stars Title is a misnomer
    Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2005
    This book should be titled Color Management in Adobe Applications on MacOS X. I picked up this book with the expectation of finding tips on how to print using Apple's Colorsync color management facility but most of the book simply covers printing using Adobe's color management system, which has totally different controls to Colorsync.

    While coverage of printing color-managed prints from the Adobe applications such as Photoshop are quite comprehensive, there is hardly any discussion of how to print from a non-Adobe application that uses Apple's Colorsync.

    From that perspective, this is a book that is comparable to Real World Color Management but from a less technical, more hands-on viewpoint since RWCM covers Adobe's color management system pretty comprehensively.

    It would behoove the author to plug this gap in a future edition because there is a dearth of documentation on Colorsync. Each iteration of Colorsyn brings in new features but leaves it up to users to basically poking around a black box which has a multititude of buttons, levers, and switches but no manual.
