At last, Apple has recognized a need in their computing base. With the advent of OS X, Apple casually tossed everyone's hard earned learning on color management in the trash.
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.
Author Joshua Weisberg has extensive experience in color management, color imaging and digital photography, and has served as a consultant for numerous companies, including Intel, Apple, Imation, Microsoft, Canon Information Systems, and more. He is the co-author of the first and second editions of GATF Practical Guide to Color Management.
