Color Management

Color Management serves as a comprehensive guide to theimplementation of the ICC (International Color Consortium) profilespecification, widely used for maintaining color fidelity acrossmulti-media imaging devices and software. The book draws togethermany of the White Papers produced by the ICC to promote the use ofcolor management and disseminate good practice; the ICCspecification has become widely accepted within the color industry,and these papers have been updated, expanded and edited for thiscollection. Other chapters comprise material that will go on toform future ICC White Papers, as well as some original content. TheICC review process ensures that the material and recommendationsincluded are collaborative, reflecting the input of the widecommunity of color and imaging scientists and developers who makeup its membership. Readers can be assured of the best advice forachieving optimum results.
* Provides an overview of color management in applications andthe role of ICC profiles in a color reproduction system.
