Book Reviews of Color Management in Digital Photography: Ten Easy Steps to True Colors in Photoshop
Book Review: A little short and shallow
Summary: 3 Stars
As the author stated at the beginning of this book, I was able to read the whole book in less than 2 hours. The material in the book gives a fast introduction/overview of the subject but certainly leaves one lacking for more detail more often than not. The text, particularly in the charter on color spaces is quite repetetive, to the point that I from time to time felt the editor has mistakenly repeated a section of text.
The author offers, throught the text, references to the books website which usually is an enhancement to a book. In this case, the web site is diffinately lacking. The only available item is the PDI target. The Macbeth color checker is NOT available as advertised (p.72). When I attempted to download the document on multiple exposures for the web site, I ended up at a broken link. The about the author section came up in Japanese when I tried it. A complete web site is the expected way to add to technical books these days and if one is offered it should work (especially since the book was published in 2007, but probably written in 2005-2006, and the equipment recommendations in the book have become rather outdated.)
I also agree with one of the previous reviewers that the price is a bit high for the content. Other books, such as Fine Art Printing for Photographers, offer more in depth information. For example, the chapter in this book on monitor profiling is a scant 3 pages plus the intductory paragraph. It takes more than this to cover this very important topic.
The beginner may get some information out of this book, but I think they will be left with the need for a more in depth treatment in order to really apply the 10 steps to their own digital printing. A person with more experience with the subject willI think be left with the impression that they didn't get their moneys worth here.

Summary of Color Management in Digital Photography: Ten Easy Steps to True Colors in Photoshop
Color management is one of the essential elements, yet major stumbling blocks in digital photography. The vast majority of digital photographers really wish they didn't have to be concerned with color management, yet the basic process of moving images from capture to print becomes impractical without it. And the more sophisticated the photography workflow becomes, the more important it is to manage colors from capture to print.In this book, Brad Hinkel simplifies the language of color management. It is based on classes and workshops the author has given to hundreds of students of digital photography. His process for color management is intended to provide enough information to create a simple and effective system allowing the user to get on with photography - focus on creativity instead of technology. However, the fact that this book suggests a simple approach to color management does not mean it sacrifices quality and effectiveness. Simpler is usually better - if it works.
