Colour: The Definitive Guide for Serious Digital Photographers

With digital cameras, colour in photography finally comes of age. It is now not only possible but essential for all photographers to take charge of the colour in the images they create. Digital cameras and powerful image-editing software applications provide them with all the tools needed to control colour fully and expressively. The unique value of this book is that it analyzes and combines three important ways of dealing with colour. The first is the subjective and cultural response to individual colours and colour combinations. The second is how they are found and appear in photography. The third is the means by which they can be viewed and altered digitally. Above all, the book is about enjoying colour in photography, through understanding the role it can play in the image, appreciating its nuances and dynamic effects, then capturing and reproducing it as precisely as possible.
