Book Reviews of Hi-Fi Color For Comics: Digital Techniques for Professional Results
Book Review: The best book on computer coloring
Summary: 5 Stars
I've just started coloring a comic, and I wish I had purchased this book before I started! It contains SO MUCH information, from scanning, to prepping your drawings for coloring, to flatting and finally to coloring itself. Sure, some of this may be in the Internet here and there, but never in one place and never, ever explained so well.
In addition to the valuable information on coloring, he also includes some invaluable scripts from Hi-Fi, which removes the tedious process of setting up your channels, etc., as well as a script for color holds and finishing up the page.
All I can say is this is the best resource I've found on computer coloring for comics. In fact, it was so good, I ordered copies for two friends.
