Great resource

The book takes a practical approach of how to do it and gives the reasons why. It covers imaging for printing presses, inkjet printers, web, animation, cd/dvd, movies, and cmyk output. In fact, the output determines choices when inputing the image. Included are how to use controls for brightness, contast, histograms, color correction, color casts, sharpening techinques, and layering to name a few. Many examples are presented. Types of paper used to print on and how to work with a press to get the correct color is also presented. The details are here. A must for anyone wanting to learn how and why and a good reference for the professional.
