Description
Completely revised and updated, this book has become a standard work in this area and is widely used as a basis for lectures in universities and specialist institutions. Includes information on the latest digital and printing technologies and is illustrated with many new photographs and diagrams. Divided into six parts, the book presents the foundations of colour imaging and colour reproduction before going on to discuss how these basic principles can be applied to photography, television, printing and digital imaging. The final part deals with the evaluation of colour appearance. The Reproduction of Colour presents a tried-and-tested balance of theory and practical application, which will appeal to both students and practicing engineers.
* Describes the fundamental principles of colour reproduction for photography, television, printing and electronic imaging.
* Provides detailed coverage of the physics of light and the chemistry of colorants.
* Includes new chapters on digital printing and digital imaging discussing colour reproduction on HDTV and digital cinema systems.
* Features expanded coverage of the evaluation of colour appearance, including a detailed treatment of colour appearance models and the colour inconstancy index.
