MANAGING THAT COLOR. "C" is for Color. "C" is also for confusing. But two new books from Peachpit Press demystify the subject very nicely: (1) Photoshop Color Correction: The Essential Guide to Color Quality for Digital Images, by Michael Kieran, Peachpit Press, 2003, 384 pages, $49.99 (including CD with before-and-after images from the book), ISBN # 0-321-12401-4. After chapters on Color Fundamentals and Color Management, Kieran introduces the reader to the various Photoshop tools useful in color correction. He then provides separate chapters on Highlights and Shadows, Neutral Tones, and Contrast, before turning to a chapter each on Sharpening and Advanced Techniques. http://www.photosourcefolio.com/bookstoreone.htm#0321124014 . (2) Real World Color Management, by Bruce Fraser, Chris Murphy, and Fred Bunting, Peachpit Press, 2003, 534 pages, $49.99, ISBN #0-201-77340-6.
