This book is designed to give you the information you need to colour manage your workflow, whether you are a photographer, graphic designer or a printer. Parts will be relevant to anybody using any digital colour device and parts specific to certain industries or users. It�s been written by our Technical Director Rob Griffith and reflects his long experience both in the graphics industry and in colour management in particular.

The approach, as the name suggests, is mostly practical rather than theoretical and the bulk of the book concentrates on how to apply colour management to a range of typical photographic, prepress, design and print workflows. It has a readable and approachable style and is designed to fit between the brief manuals you get with software and the weightier more theoretical specialist books on colour management.

The chapters are:

Light, Human Vision & Colour
A short introduction to the basic physics and biology of colour along with an explanation of colour measurement and colour models.
