 Practical Advice for Digital Color Correction July 12, 2006
D. Erlandson (St. Paul, MN)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Rivard provides practical advice for those who earn a living dealing with color correction as well as for novices who want to make their digital photos pop! Rivard has the gift of being able to explain complex subjects such as color theory in an easy to understand manner. In no time you'll be applying Rivard's Pyramid principle and saving time, while increasing productivity and output. This book is not a Photoshop tutorial, rather it focuses on the key fundamentals of what makes an image look good and then shows you how to accomplish that task in the least amount of time. The book is a must for print service providers who are constantly challenged with fixing problems with customer files.

If you are looking for an advanced book, this is not the one. But if you are looking for an excellent introductory text, this is a suitable choice. The author does an excellent job of breaking down the theory and practice of color correction in the digital environment.

This is a must read for anyone pursuing a career in preparing images for reproduction.
Rivard will take the reader through a complete and concise understanding of the tools and techniques to make images look great with todays imaging technology. It will provide a solid foundation of skills and enable the reader to better understand some of the more in-depth books written on color. Every student should study this book and seasoned pros should read it to know how well prepared graduates are entering the workforce.

Rivard approaches this text book with a refreshing voice... the wealth of technical information is nicely balanced by a "friendly" tone and interesting examples. The author clearly understands the technology, and he clearly has a passion for sharing what he knows in practical, real world terms.
 Freshman introduction to digital color. June 16, 2006
P. Halberstadt
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Reasonable introduction to digital retouching. A freshman course. The equipment shown is old and the reproduction does not show good color correction for reproduction. Not to say it is a useless book only that it is not for professionals. Professionals or serious students should look at Dan Margulis' books for advanced study.
