1 Simple introduction to color management on MacOSX
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.
2 Not too impressed
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...
