Understanding Color Management (Graphic Design/Interactive Media)

Digital imagery and digital color are everywhere, yet operating a color-managed system has remained a mystery... until now! Fresh from pioneering work in color algorithms for FujiFilm, Dr. Abhay Sharma explains the basics of color science and color measurement, and provides an in-depth look at the range of measuring instruments available to the end-user. International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles are discussed in great detail and procedures for profiling scanners, digital cameras, computer monitors, inkjet printers, and printing presses are thoroughly described- making this book the definitive guide to color management.

Abhay Sharma received his B.S. in Imaging Sciences from the University of Westminster, London, and a Ph.D. in Physics from King¿s College, University of London. He has worked as a Senior Research Engineer with FujiFilm¿s Colour & Imaging Technology Research group in the UK. Dr. Sharma is currently an Associate Professor in color imaging at Western Michigan University and a member of the International Color Consortium.
