Digital Color Management (eBook)

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.

"The writing is extremely clear, well paced, and well illustrated.
. . Their experience with all of these systems provides a
background that is both broad and deep when they explain the
limitations of many color-management systems and propose a
comprehensive color-management environment." (Journal of Electronic
Imaging, 2009)

"The book is illuminatively written, impeccably printed and
illustrated in color." (SIVip, 2010)
