An electronic prepress master reveals how to get the most out of Photoshop

Renowned among graphic design professionals for his technical grounding and ability to clearly explain difficult principles and techniques, Dan Margulis has updated his bestselling book, Professional Photoshop 5, to help readers quickly master Photoshop 6 and learn how to take full advantage of its latest tools and capabilities. Rather than focusing on program features, Dan Margulis builds on a solid foundation of classic design concepts and skills. This new edition has been substantially expanded to include coverage of issues surrounding image handling for devices other than offset printers, such as final output on desktop color printers, high-volume copiers, and large-format printers for outdoor displays.

Amazon.com Review

Plenty of books cover all things Photoshop, but Professional Photoshop 6: The Classic Guide to Color Correction is probably one of the few that ought to be required reading. Filled with clear text and color images, this new edition of the classic color usage guide stands out among its peers. Updated to reflect changes in Photoshop since the previous edition, nearly half the material is either new or has been rewritten. Color correction itself hasn't changed, but the way it's done and the need for doing it certainly have.

The book contains 17 chapters, each dealing with a different aspect of correction and image reproduction: colorspaces, resolution, luminosity, separation, channels, and much more. Each chapter is worthy of study, and all are interesting. While not a step-by-step tutorial guide, the text is written so that the driving idea behind each technique--in addition to a demonstration of it--is explained, allowing the reader to apply what is learned to his or her own work.

For the first time, this book includes a CD-ROM. While not exactly overflowing with content, it does include images from the book that anxiously await color correction, as well as some chapters that were in earlier editions of the book but are not present in this one. There is also an important chapter on moving from a pre-version 5 Photoshop to version 6 (a significant jump).

The book doesn't try to be a Photoshop all-inclusive encyclopedia. Instead, it focuses on one aspect of the tool. Fortunately, since color correction is probably the most important, complex, and misunderstood area of digital imaging, Professional Photoshop 6: The Classic Guide to Color Correction excels at explaining and exploring the process behind the curtain, and the right and wrong way to adjust the color of images. --Mike Caputo

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Dan Margulis, an expert on color correction of photography, is author of Professional Photoshop, which, since its first edition in 1994, has become the unofficial Bible of the prepress and printing industries. His 2005 book Photoshop LAB Color: The Canyon Conundrum and Other Adventures in the Most Powerful Colorspace revolutionized workflows for many Photoshop users, and became the top-selling book in the entire computer/internet field.

Formerly a professional prepress manager with over 20 years experience heading electronics departments at high-end trade shops, he went on to offer hands-on color correction classes in the U.S., Canada and Europe, in four different languages. In September 2001, Dan was one of the first three persons named to the "Photoshop Hall of Fame" of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.

Now semi-retired, he still teaches the occasional class. HiIs latest books are Modern Photoshop Color Workflow (2013) and, in 2020, a complete remake of M.E. Chevreul’s classic On the Law of Simultaneous Contrast of Colors.

Dan Rules!

I read the the reviews posted with interest and was rather surprised by some of the negative comments. I am just buying the book now, but I have taken a peek at it, and since I own all 3 of his previous books, have a collection of all his "Makeready" articles for Electronic Publishing and subscribe to his "Color Theory mailing list, I think I can speak to his approach and style of writing.
I admit I am a fan. I have learned more from Dan's books and articles that I can even begin to say. While some might view his comments and asides as caustic, I've always considered his writing the rarest of all things things that can be said about writing on a highly technical subject--witty--and there's nothing wrong with stating a strongly held opinion either. There's nothing like a chuckle to make one pay attention and get on with learning the tasks at hand.
Color theory is extremely complex, and I've found Dan has the ability to boil down information into understandable chunks, even giving formulas, and recipes.
Having said all that I will agree his books are not for the average beginner, nor do they pretend to be, as the titles contain the word "professional", and that's who he writes for, professionals, and those who strive to be. Photoshop neophytes or those not serious about learning how to achieve the best color correction possible, and devoting some time and effort to it, probably should not buy this book. But if you want to be a photoshop professional, apply yourself to this book and you will take a big step toward being one.

CMYK color correction with lots of ego.

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2002

Verified Purchase

Most of the online reviews promise a lot but the book doesn't deliver and that is a great disappointment since an understandable guide is need. The author does not explain and illustrate the relationships between rgb (additive) and cmyk (reflective) in enough detail for one to comprehend how to read color coordinates in the info window and then correct the images using PhotoShop's image adjustments whether they be curves, levels, or whatever (which require thinking in both color spaces). The author is an expert on the four process color inks on the press and how they relate to cmyk color densities on printed paper but how to achieve the corresponding correct color densities in your digital files using PhotoShop is not clearly communicated. I've learned more reading the compressed "Create Print" articles in MacWorld by authors like David Blatner (a fine writer) then I learned from this book. My recommendations are: if you want to understand the basics of digital prepress then the Agfa Guide to Digital Color Prepress (though dated) is far better; if you want to understand channels then PhotoShop Channel Chop (also dated) is better; if you wants to understand curves then the PhotoShop Artistry books (version 5 or 6) are better. If you want a professional's insights into how he goes about correcting cymk color situation along with lots of self accolades, well this is it. Also be warned that none of the photographs measure up to the quality of good commercial stock photo images. Hopefully, by the next version of PhotoShop a good technical editor can turn this book into the gem the PhotoShop audience needs on this topic.

Really one of the best

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2002

Verified Purchase

If you are a photographer, this is the book for you. If you do any prepress work, this is the book for you. I have read and re-read this book to try to absorb everything inside. It's not a book about how to make the latest cool button for your website, it's about how to render a photo's color in the best possible way in a print or on a press. The book is very opinionated, and it's clear the author has attracted criticism from many parties. However, in the application of his techniques, I have never found any advice from him to be unwarranted.
He's been very influential in my work.

It doesn't get any better than this. Dan's ability to communicate by thoroughly explaining and then demonstrating is excellent. You may never need to use all of the included techniques but this publication is a resource that is unmatched for content relative to the imaging industry. I purchased additional copies as gifts.

Not enough step-by-step help: The Master is not a teacher.

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2000

I have been reading the version of this book published a few years ago when Photoshop 3.0 had been recently released. Mr. Margulis (INTJ), while clearly knowledgeable and skilled in digital color correction, is not a very good teacher. He has developed his skill over years of intuitive exploration, but he doesn't know how to explain from basic principles how he does what he does--which is true of many artists. Much of what he knows and can do goes unsaid, glossed over amid irrelevant, caustic criticism of others in his field and slogans of "anyone can do this." In my opinion from reading the first few chapters of this previous book, digital photography and color correction are every bit a sophisticated art as is oil painting, and not something that you pick up from a book--especially not this book. His approach is complex and obscure because he is unaware of how much creativity, experience, and subtlety he commands in his own work. It seems simple to him, but that's because he does it so naturally. Do not buy this book unless you are already a skilled artist with a refined sense of color and a native knack for mathematics. Don't believe him when he says it only requires "monkey work."
