Help needed. Looking for good BOOK about Color Gamut ICC Profile Calibration Settings

vjacesslav · 04-03-2014, 04:54 PM

Hello everybody...
I am looking for some good book or reading stuff about set up all equipment about color settings...
For example I am film shooter and want to do understand how to set up my scanner, what does it mean histogram, Color, White balance, levels, ICC profile etc...
I would like to set and understand all things about it. I am using Lightroom and want to know what and how use camera calibration profile. Where to get it.
Or with scanner some Film profiles... How to set monitor, how to set printer, how to set scanner, all basics and advanced things.
From taking shot to print photos... All parts of procedure

Thank You for any suggestions

I think you mean you want to understand "Color management" (Not the histogram, color, white balance. That has to do with developing the RAW file and post processing). Perhaps this book could help: http://amzn.com/B004P8J1OY

Color management is indeed the subject I agree that the OP probably seeks. I have Fraser's above book, but it is getting a little old. Because the tools are evolving rather quickly, I'd suggest the OP seek out educational websites and tutorials.
Cambridge in Color has a nice color management section.

Try looking on the websites for the mfg of the various calibration tools they have some very detailed e books and lengthy PDF documents on calibration, and the theory that might also be of interest

I was very pleased with Tim Grey's book Color Confidence. It is a bit out of date, but you might still want to check it out. (Link is to Amazon.)

I like this one, it's easy language and not too much content. Good crash course:
