Summary

The long-awaited second edition of this popular book has been fully revised and updated to include new topics on non-CRT displays, digital cinema, encoding metrics and International Color Consortium (ICC) color management. It explains the capabilities and limitations of existing color management systems, and describes a comprehensive solution to the problem of representing and communicating color within and among imaging systems. The book also provides a thorough description of the background information necessary to understand the technology, including introductory chapters on 'measuring color', 'color imaging systems' and 'the human color-imaging system'.

Author Biography

Edward J. Giorgianni, Research Fellow, Eastman Kodak Company (EJG) and Thomas E. Madden, Research Associate, Eastman Kodak Company (TEM)
Edward J. Giorgianni and Thomas E. Madden are imaging scientists at Eastman Kodak Company. Together, they have more than 60 years of practical experience in designing photographic, electronic, and hybrid color-imaging systems. They hold numerous patents in the fields of color management and imaging technology. Among their inventions are the digital color-encoding methods used on many commercial imaging systems, including the Photo CD System.
They are the authors of the textbook Digital Color Management: Encoding Solutions, 1998, 0201634260, Addison Wesley and contributors to four other books on color science and color imaging. In addition, both authors are award-winning instructors and frequent lecturers at technical symposia and universities. Their extensive writing and teaching experience are evident in the first edition of this book, which has been highly praised for making complex subject matter and concepts clear and understandable.
